The wave field on a shelf resulting from point source generation, with application to tsunamis

Studies were made to determine the wave field of long surface gravity waves generated on a shelf by a localized source, such as might occur in tsunami generation. Beth analytical and experimental aspects of the problem are investigated. An analytical model is constructed, which examines the field o...
