Numerical Model For Tsunami Propagation Due To A Time Dependent Source Along Peninsular Malaysia And Southern Thailand

The event of the 26th December 2004 Sumatra-Andaman Earthquake was very profound in its impact since it generated a widespread tsunami throughout the Indian Ocean rim countries. The west coast of Peninsular Malaysia and the coast of southern Thailand were also attacked by the massive tsunami wave...
