Benchmark Analysis of Numerical Models for Tsunami Simulation: IAEA TECDOC No. 1973

---

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami damaged the Madras Atomic Power Station in India and led to a new understanding of the importance of flooding hazards caused by tsunamis at nuclear power plant sites. The Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent tsunami in 2011, which heavily damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, re-emphasized the importance of tsunami hazard assessments. Recognizing the importance of this topic, the IAEA has developed guidelines and recommendations on tsunami hazard assessment, including IAEA Safety Standards Series No. SSG-18, Meteorological and Hydrological Hazards in Site Evaluation for
Nuclear Installations. However, there is still a need for detailed information on the development of state of the art tsunami hazard assessments. To address this need, the IAEA developed this publication to complement SSG-18.

In recent years, there has been an evolution in numerical models used for tsunami propagation and run-up. The numerical models currently available include linear propagation models with shallow water approximations, non-linear shallow water models and Boussinesq models, which offer a wide array of choices for users. In parallel with the development of these numerical models, analysis models have also been developed that numerically simulate tsunami propagation and run-up. The 2011 tsunami, which occurred in a region well equipped with monitoring instruments, provided researchers the opportunity to verify these numerical and analysis models. Fifty specialists and regulators produced this publication from five consultancy meetings, incorporating information from cutting edge tsunami simulation techniques and measurable tsunami data.

It is important that readers of this publication use only verified and validated numerical models and relevant computer codes that have undergone a benchmark analysis. This publication provides information and benchmark problems so readers can select the most appropriate tsunami analysis software to evaluate tsunami hazards for nuclear installations. The supplementary files available on-line provide data from analytical benchmarks and laboratory experiments for comparison with numerical results.

The IAEA appreciates the contributions of all those involved in the drafting and review of this publication. The IAEA officers responsible for this publication were S. Nishizaki and S. Nomura of the Division of Nuclear Installation Safety.
