Tsunami Generation
The source in Delft3D is prescribed as initial condition (IC), through the so-called
initial condition file containing water elevations (and zero velocities) at t = 0
This file can be generated in Dashboard (only EQ generated tsunami) through the
tsunami toolbox
The model used to generate the IC is the so-called Okada model (1985)
And Moment magnitude, Mw, rupture length, L, and width, W (i.e. Rupture area).
Similar simplified
relation has
been built in the
Delft Dashboard
tsunami toolbox.

Solver
If only propagation is important: Cyclic is sufficient
When flooding is equally essential (high reolution model required)
then Flood solver is required
Other parameters:
Depth at DP point
Inundation level
higher
Propagation speed
higher; deeper
flood penetration
