open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

Hi,

I'm trying to define the boundary conditions and parameters for running a tsunami simulation. In FUDAA, I could not understand "Physical Characteristics of Tsunami". What data does each row in this represent? I see there is a limit of 10 parameters in this option.

Hello,

These 10 values are the parameters of the Okada model (1992) used for the generation of the tsunami. From T2D dico file, the values are defined as follow:
- the focal depth (HH),
- the fault length (L),
- the fault width (W)
- the dislocation (D),
- the strike direction (TH),
- the dip angle (DL),
- the slip (RD),
- the epicentre latitude (Y0) and
- the epicentre longitude (X0)
- the ellipse ( WxL ) area of influence'

I hope it helps!
Regards,
Laurent

Thanks Laurent!
