Shallow Water Wave CFD (Tsunami Modelling)

Cool visualization of shallow water wave equation (tsunami)

You are now following this Submission

Employs Crank-Nicholson scheme, 2nd order accurate, CFD calculation of shallow water wave equation. If processor is slow, can decrease ni, nj, tmax. Very little viscous diffusion allowed, boundary conditions aren't great. Initial condition is a sudden column of water that drops into the ocean. provides a cool visualization of tsunami traveling up a beach, peaking, and returning to sea.
