The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

© Copyright 2016 by the International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers (ISOPE).Tsunamis generated by earthquakes generally propagate as long waves in the deep ocean and may be mathematically described by the shallow water equations (SWEs). Tsunami propagation and inundation usually involve a vast problem domain, which requires a highly efficient numerical model to provide accurate predictions. In this work, a hydrodynamic model that solves the 2D SWEs using a finite volume Godunov-type shock-capturing scheme is comprehensively tested on different hardware devices, covering both Central Processing Units (CPU) and Graphics Processing Units (GPU), for efficient tsunami modeling.
