Tsunami : generation, propagation and effects -- Tsunami-driven debris and its impact -- Tsunami hazards and aspects on design loads -- Behaviour of shoreline between groyne field and its effect on the tsunami propagation -- Signature studies (Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andaman and Nicobar Islands) -- Post facto evaluation along tsunami affected stretches -- Tsunami detection -- Effectiveness of coastal vegetation on impacts due to tsunami -- Tsunami generation in laboratory -- Tsunami propagation modelling -- Tsunami evolution and run-up -- Tsunami impact modelling.
Summary:
"The most pertinent tsunami related issues such as waterborne debris during tsunami flooding, design loads to incorporate for impact forces on coastal zone infrastructure, detection and warning are meticulously incorporated in this book. Modelling of various coastal processes have proven to be successful in the recent past, which includes extreme events such as storm surge, cyclone, etc. The possible provisions for computational/numerical tsunami modelling and real physical modelling in laboratory are elaborated. The propagation, evolution and run-up of tsunami waves and their associated non-linear dynamics are discussed. The significant inferences from the experts who have had hands-on experience working with the extensive magnitude of a tsunami disaster reported on the signature studies and post facto effects of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, with respect to the damages along the Indian coast." -- Publisher description.
