title = "Characteristics of tsunami propagation through Korean straits and statistical description of tsunami wave height",
abstract = "We numerically studied tsunami propagation characteristics through Korean Straits based on nonlinear shallow water equation, a robust wave driver of the near field tsunamis. Tsunamis are presumed to be generated by the earthquake in Tsuhima-Koto fault line. The magnitude of earthquake is chosen to be 7.5 on Richter scale, which corresponds to most plausible one around Korean peninsula. It turns out that it takes only 60 minutes for leading waves to cross Korean straits, which supports recently raised concerns that warning system might be malfunctioned due to lack of evacuation time. We also numerically obtained the probability of tsunami inundation of various levels along southern coastal area of Korean Peninsula based on simple seismological and Kajiura (1963)'s hydrodynamic model due to tsunami-generative earthquake in Tsuhima-Koto fault line. We believe this inundation probability of various levels to give valuable information for the amendment of current building code of coastal disaster prevention system to tame future tsunami attack.",
