Any good paper to simulate disaster like tsunami?

May 5, 2006, 02:27

I'm quite interested to get some information about CFD simulation of natural disaster. Can anyone tell me some good paper in this area? I'm using commercial code like Fluent & CFX at the moment. Is it possible to run this application on Fluent or CFX?

For simulating a tsunami you need a model specialised to offshore applications including wave modelling. Here I would not use the Fluent and CFX. I would recomend the MIKE21 model from DHI Water & Environment. The MIKE21 model is a 2D model, depth avareged, which is sufficient in this case, with a free surface description. Different wave models can bee included.
