Field observations provide valuable data regarding nearshore tsunami impact, yet only in inundation areas where tsunami waves have already flooded. Therefore, tsunami modeling is essential to understand tsunami behavior and prepare for tsunami inundation. It is necessary that all numerical models used in tsunami emergency planning be subject to benchmark tests for validation and verification. This study focuses on two numerical codes, NAMI DANCE and FLOW-3D((R)), for validation and performance comparison. NAMI DANCE is an in-house tsunami numerical model developed by the Ocean Engineering Research Center of Middle East Technical University, Turkey and Laboratory of Special Research Bureau for Automation of Marine Research, Russia. FLOW-3D((R)) is a general purpose computational fluid dynamics software, which was developed by scientists who pioneered in the design of the Volume-of-Fluid technique. The codes are validated and their performances are compared via analytical, experimental and field benchmark problems, which are documented in the Proceedings and Results of the 2011 National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program (NTHMP) Model Benchmarking Workshop'' and the Proceedings and Results of the NTHMP 2015 Tsunami Current Modeling Workshop. The variations between the numerical solutions of these two models are evaluated through statistical error analysis.

Sensitivity Study of Hydrodynamic Parameters During Numerical Simulations of Tsunami Inundation Ozer, Ceren; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-11-01) This paper describes the analysis of a parameter, "hydrodynamic demand,'' which can be used to represent the potential for tsunami drag force related damage to structures along coastlines. It is derived from the ratio of drag force to hydrostatic force caused by a tsunami on the structure. It varies according to the instantaneous values of the current velocities and flow depths during a tsunami inundation. To examine the effects of a tsunami in the present study, the analyses were performed using the tsunam...
Seismic hazard assessment for Cyprus Cagnan, Zehra; TANIRCAN, GÜLÜM (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-04-01) In the present study, probabilistic seismic hazard assessment was conducted for Cyprus based on several new results: a new comprehensive earthquake catalog, seismic source models based on new research, and new attenuation relationships. Peak ground acceleration distributions obtained for a return period of 475 years for rock conditions indicate high hazard along the southern coastline of Cyprus, where the expected ground motion is between 0.3 and 0.4 g. The rest of the island is characterized by values repr...
Engineering characteristics of the near-field strong motions from the 1999 Kocaeli and Duzce Earthquakes in Turkey Sucuoğlu, Haluk (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2002-07-01) The purpose of this paper is to summarize the strong motion data from the nearest stations to the fault ruptures of the August 17, 1999 Kocaeli and November 12, 1999 Duzce earthquakes and to document information that will be significant for its interpretation. Significant engineering characteristics of the near-field strong motions are discussed, with particular emphasis on the site conditions, rupture directivity effects and transverse component orientations relative to the fault. In the course of this stu...
Broadband Ground Motion Simulation Within the City of Düzce (Turkey) and Building Response Simulation Ozmen, Ekin; Karim Zadeh Naghshineh, Shaghayegh; Askan, Aysegul (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-05-01) In areas with significant seismic activity and insufficient seismic networks, simulated ground motions are required for both seismic hazard and engineering analyses. One important task is evaluating the efficiency of the simulated records in building response estimation. In this study, a hybrid ground motion simulation framework is presented to obtain broadband ground motion time histories of a past major earthquake in Düzce (Turkey). The hybrid ground motion simulation framework presented herein is a combi...
Introduction to "Twenty Five Years of Modern Tsunami Science Following the 1992 Nicaragua and Flores Island Tsunamis, Volume I" Kanoğlu, Utku; Okal, Emile A.; Baptista, Aria Ana; Rabinovich, Alexander B. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-07-01) Twenty-two papers on tsunamis are included in the Pure and Applied Geophysicstopical issue Twenty five years of modern tsunami science following the 1992 Nicaragua and Flores Island tsunamis: Volume I, reporting on the frontiers of tsunami science and research. The first three papers overview significant tsunamis of 1992-2018 and discuss the problems of tsunami cataloguing. The main focus of the next four papers is on specific details of historical tsunami events and field surveys. First, three papers are r...
