GONZALEZ GONZALEZ, Rodrigo; ORTIZ FIGUEROA, Modesto  e  MONTOYA RODRIGUEZ, José Miguel. Tsunami: An interesting mathematical problema. Rev. Mat [online]. 2012, vol.19, n.1, pp.107-119. ISSN 1409-2433.

We present some key aspects regarding the mathematics and the computational tool that support the complex description of the physical process tsunami from two specific approaches. In particular, it addresses analytically a simple hydroelastic model for the problem of tsunami wave generation, which provides results in the rupture area. Moreover, the propagation of tsunami waves in the ocean and the impact along the coastline is analyzed numerically using the hydrodynamic approach, presenting in particular a direct application to the prediction of tsunamis in Mexico caused by potential earthquakes in the Mesoamerican trench through the design of a “Tsunami Toolbox” to simulate tsunamis caused by earthquakes in the subduction zone on the western coast of Mexico.
