- Description
- Under the assumptions of linearized water wave theory, we build a three-dimensional mathematical model that couples atmospheric pressure waves and surface ocean waves, including water compressibility and its static part, to simulate Meteotsunami propagation in the ocean. The solution uses the Laplace–Fourier double transformation technique, emphasizing axisymmetry of the mathematical problem and rigorous treatment of a fairly complicated dispersion relation while using inverse transformations. A novel derivation of the axisymmetric atmospheric pressure front is shown. The impact of water compressibility is shown through a comparative graphical representation against the incompressible case. Faster travel of free-surface waves is observed in the incompressible ocean, followed by the cases with and without static compression of the compressible ocean, respectively. The static compression shifts the phase of the acoustic-gravity modes. The locked wave is hardly influenced by the water compressibility and is entangled with the moving pressure front. The model is validated with the observational pressure data and agrees well with our computed pressure profile. Then, the locked wave profile generated from our model agrees well with the deep-ocean assessment and reporting of tsunami data.
