Numerical study of landslide-generated waves

This thesis describes a time-domain boundary element method to numerically simulate linear waves generated by a horizontal-moving landslide of an arbitrary profile. The approach to setting up the numerical models is based on a Green's function method and a time-stepping procedure. The numeri...
