AULOS & TsunamisAULOS & TsunamisThis picture shows a wave progressing along a canal. Measurements were made and compared with the model calculations, and showed that the model precisely forecast the wave motion.
Although this wave was in a canal, this gives a replication of wave height, speed and water depth at full scale for a small tsunami approaching a coastline.
AULOS was used to model the effects of tsunamis on the Te Papa Museum. Click here to see a television broadcast on 15 February 1998 at the time of the Te Papa opening. Interview Copyright TVNZ.
