Numerical modelling of surface water waves generated by moving underwater landslide on irregular bottom

The numerical modelling of surface water waves generated by a moving underwater landslide on irregular bottom is considered. The non-linear shallow water model is used with taking into account bottom mobility. The equations are obtained for an underwater landslide movement under the action of gravity force, buoyancy force, friction force and water resistance force. The predictor-corrector scheme 5], preserving the monotonicity of the numerical solution profiles in a linear case, is used on adaptive grids. The scheme is validated on the problem with a known analytical solution. The analysis is done for the dependencies of wave regimes on bottom slope, initial landslide depth, its length and width.
