Abstract:
A numerical algorithm for simulating free-surface flows based on regularized shallow water equations is adapted to flows involving moving dry-bed areas. Well-balanced versions of the algorithm are constructed. Test computations of flows with dry-bed areas in the cases of water runup onto a plane beach and a constant-slope beach are presented. An example of tsunami simulation is given.
Key words:shallow water equations, regularization, finite volume method, well-balanced condition, flow with dry-bed areas, tsunami wave.
