The runup of tsunami waves on the coasts of the barrow bays, channels and straits is studied in the framework of the nonlinear shallow water theory. Using the narrowness of the water channel, the one-dimensional equations are applied; they include the variable cross-section of channel. It is shown that the analytical solutions can be obtained with use of the hodograph (Legendre) transformation similar to the wave runup on the plane beach. As a result, the linear wave equation is derived and all physical variables (water displacement, fluid velocity, coordinate and time) can be determined. The dynamics of the moving shoreline (boundary of the flooding zone) is investigated in details. It is shown that all analytical formulas for the moving shoreline can be obtained explicitly. Two examples of the incident wave shapes are analysed: sine wave and parabolic pulse. The last example demonstrates that even for approaching of the crest only, the flooding can appear very quickly; then water will recede relatively slowly, and then again quickly return to the initial state.

The problem of the long wave runup on a beach is discussed in the framework of the rigorous solutions of the nonlinear shallow-water theory. The key and novel moment here is the analysis of the runup of a certain class of asymmetric waves, the face s lope steepness of which exceeds the back slope steepness. Shown is that the runup height increases when the relative face slope steepness increases whereas the rundown weakly depends on the steepness. The results partially explain why the tsunami waves with the steep front (as it was for the 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean) penetrate deeper into inland compared with symmetric waves of the same height and length.
We formulate a new approach to solving the initial value problem of the shallow water-wave equations utilizing the famous Carrier-Greenspan transformation [G. Carrier and H. Greenspan, J. Fluid Mech. 01, 97 (1957)]. We use a Taylor series approximati on to deal with the difficulty associated with the initial conditions given on a curve in the transformed space. This extends earlier solutions to waves with near shore initial conditions, large initial velocities, and in more complex U-shaped bathymetries; and allows verification of tsunami wave inundation models in a more realistic 2-D setting.

The present article is devoted to the influence of sediment layers on the process of tsunami generation. The main scope here is to demonstrate and especially quantify the effect of sedimentation on vertical displacements of the seabed due to an under water earthquake. The fault is modelled as a Volterra-type dislocation in an elastic half-space. The elastodynamics equations are integrated with a finite element method. A comparison between two cases is performed. The first one corresponds to the classical situation of an elastic homogeneous and isotropic half-space, which is traditionally used for the generation of tsunamis. The second test case takes into account the presence of a sediment layer separating the oceanic column from the hard rock. Some important differences are revealed. We conjecture that deformations in the generation region may be amplified by sedimentary deposits, at least for some parameter values. The mechanism of amplification is studied through careful numerical simulations.
We consider the propagation of short waves which generate waves of much longer (infinite) wave-length. Model equations of such long wave-short wave resonant interaction, including integrable ones, are well-known and have received much attention becau se of their appearance in various physical contexts, particularly fluid dynamics and plasma physics. Here we introduce a new long wave-short wave integrable model which generalises those first proposed by Yajima-Oikawa and by Newell. By means of its associated Lax pair, we carry out the linear stability analysis of its continuous wave solutions by introducing the stability spectrum as an algebraic curve in the complex plane. This is done starting from the construction of the eigenfunctions of the linearised long wave-short wave model equations. The geometrical features of this spectrum are related to the stability/instability properties of the solution under scrutiny. Stability spectra for the plane wave solutions are fully classified in the parameter space together with types of modulational instabilities.
The dynamical degenerate four-wave mixing is studied analytically in detail. By removing the unessential freedom, we first characterize this system by a lower-dimensional closed subsystem of a deformed Maxwell-Bloch type, involving only three physica l variables: the intensity pattern, the dynamical grating amplitude, the relative net gain. We then classify by the Painleve test all the cases when singlevalued solutions may exist, according to the two essential parameters of the system: the real relaxation time tau, the complex response constant gamma. In addition to the stationary case, the only two integrable cases occur for a purely nonlocal response (Real(gamma)=0), these are the complex unpumped Maxwell-Bloch system and another one, which is explicitly integrated with elliptic functions. For a generic response (Re(gamma) not=0), we display strong similarities with the cubic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation.
