Simulation of tsunami propagation after the earthquake in Tohoku, Japan in March 2011
This simulation shows how the wave develops as it propagates across the Pacific and interacts with the bathymetric features and islands. The color scale for free surface elevation is cropped at +/- 3 m to highlight the wave propagation.

Simulation of tsunami propagation after the earthquake in Tohoku, Japan in March 2011
This simulation shows how the wave develops as it propagates across the Pacific and interacts with the bathymetric features and islands. The color scale for free surface elevation is cropped at +/- 10 cm to highlight the wave propagation.

Water renewal in the Scheldt estuary
The upper graph illustrates renewal water as it enters the domain of interest (visible portion of the estuary) from up- and downstream boundaries. The age of the renewal water is shown in the lower graph.
