Core Concepts
Implicit adaptive mesh refinement enhances accuracy in modeling dispersive tsunami propagation.
Abstract
The content introduces an algorithm for solving the dispersive depth-averaged Serre-Green-Naghdi equations using patch-based adaptive mesh refinement. The method is implicit, allowing different time steps on various refinement levels. Computational examples demonstrate stability and accuracy in realistic tsunami modeling scenarios, including a hypothetical asteroid impact generating a short-wavelength tsunami. The implementation is part of the GeoClaw software widely used for hazard modeling.
