Reconstruction of the Non-linear Wave at a Buoy from Shoreline Data and Applications to the Tsunami Inverse Problem for Piece-Wise Sloping Bathymetry
摘要
We discuss the following inverse problem: given the run-up data of a tsunami wave, can we recover its initial shape? We study this problem within the framework of the non-linear shallow water equations, a model widely used to study tsunami propagation and inundation. Previously, we demonstrated that in the case of infinite sloping bathymetry, it is possible to recover the initial water displacement and velocity from shoreline readings (Rybkin et al. [
