Modeling the Slump-Type Landslide Tsunamis Part I Developing a Three-Dimensional Bingham-Type Landslide Model

Abstract

This paper aims to develop a landslide model to simulate slump-type landslide tsunamis. The modified Bi-viscous model can be used to simulate the landslide movements in both the in-land area and ocean area. The model is able to describe the developments of the landslide as well as the slip surface. In addition, the model can be applied to hazard assessments.
