Abstract
Until now, tsunamis generated by underwater landslides were modelled at the CEA using a 2D long wave code (Avalanche) that was adapted to the computing resources available at the time but now seems obsolete in the literature. An initial post-doctoral study (2023-2025) showed that the 3D OpenFoam tool could accurately simulate a landslide and the associated waves in the generation zone. During this post-doctoral fellowship, a coupling between the CEA's ‘2D’ propagation code (Taitoko) and the 3D code was developed in order to propagate waves over long distances. The work carried out will be continued. The first objective will be to familiarise with the tools developed and to publish the work carried out on the 80 Mm3 collapse that occurred in Mururoa in 1979. The main objective is then to carry out simulations of potential collapses in the northern zone, bearing in mind that the main difficulty lies in defining the geometry of these potential collapses. The propagation of waves over long distances is simulated by a ‘2D’ tsunami code coupled with the OpenFoam code.
