Abstract

A tsunami is a series of wave trains caused by brutal and widespread mechanical actions at a lake, a sea, or an ocean. It generally has a tectonic origin or landslide causing catastrophic impacts. Within the framework of risk assessment, this study investigates the exposure of the Tunisian coasts to tsunamis. It aims to identify the potential tsunamigenic sources by simulations of tsunamis of seismic origin using a suitable numerical code.
