Some Features of the Landslide Mechanism of Surface Waves Generation in Real Basins (original) (raw)

We present the results of numerical modeling of surface wave generation by the movement of submerged deformable body along the slope, which simulates the real coastal slope. The multiparametric computations are carried out within the shallow water approximation that allowed to determine the dependence of wave pattern on the depth of landslide embedding, length and thickness of the body, relative density, friction coefficient, and slope geometry. The main attention is focused on the effects resulted from the heterogeneity of depths, which simulates specifics of real water basins.
