Tsunami modeling
The shallow water equations are being used to model long-wave propagation
and tsunami run-up on topography. The main algorithmic issue is the
development of a robust high-resolution method that handles arbitrary
topography and bathymetry, and the moving interface between wet and dry
regions.
