Simulation of the 1960 tsunami in an estuary in south-central Chile
Keywords:
Tsunami, modeling, riskAbstract
The 1960 tsunami was modeled in an estuary in Central-South of Chile. The reconstruction of the event is carried out by the modeling of the tsunamigenic seismic scenario, employing a technique of numeric simulation of near field tsunamis, which allowed the description of the generation process, propagation and flood generated by the waves in the low coastal areas. The tsunami simulation results are validated with antecedents and existent evidences from the real event.
