Linear potential theory 16
A general framework 17
We formulate the tsunami generation and propagation from the sea-bottom deformation 18
in a constant water depth based on a linear potential theory [e.g., Takahashi 1942; 19
Hammack 1973]. We use the Cartesian coordinates shown in Figure 1, where the z-axis 20
is vertically upward, and the x- and y-axes in a horizontal plane. The sea surface is 21
located at z = 0 , and the sea bottom is flat and located at z = −h0 . We assume that the 22
height of the water surface η x, y, t( ) at time t is small enough compared to the water 23
depth η << h0 and the viscosity is neglected. The velocity in the fluid is given by a 24
vector v x, t( ) = vxex + vyey + vzez , where x = xex + yey + zez , and ex , ey , and ez are 25
the basis vectors in the x, y, and z axes, respectively. We also assume an incompressible 26
and irrotational flow, ∇⋅v = 0 , in which the velocity vector is given as 27
v x, t( ) = gradφ x, t( ) using a velocity potential φ x, t( ) . 28
The velocity potential satisfies the Laplace equation 29
30
Δφ x, t( ) = 0 , (1) 31

and the boundary conditions at the surface (z = 0) are given by 33

where g0 is the gravitational constant. Assuming the final sea-bottom deformation, or 38
permanent vertical displacement at the sea bottom, to be d x, y( ) , we give the vertical 39
component of the velocity as the boundary condition at the sea bottom, as follows: 40
41
vz x, t( ) z=−h0 = d x, y( )χ t( ) , (4) 42
43
where the function χ t( ) depends only on time, which satisfies the following: 44

46
47
The function of χ t( ) has the dimension of the inverse of time and is referred to 48
hereinafter as the source time function. We obtained the velocity potential that satisfies 49

Eq. (6) represents a formal expression of the velocity potential with the inverse 64
Fourier transform with respect to the time-frequency domain. This was derived by 65
Takahashi [1942] in cylindrical coordinates. Similar equations were obtained by 66
Kervella et al. [2007] and Levin and Nosov [2009] in the Cartesian coordinates using 67
the inverse Laplace transform. It is necessary to conduct an integration over the angular 68
frequency ω in order to obtain a solution in the time domain. Takahashi [1942] and 69
Kervell et al. [2007] calculated the integral for the sea surface z = 0, but not for an 70
arbitrary depth, z. Levin and Nosov [2009] performed the inverse Laplace transform for 71
the velocity potential for any depth z. However, they assumed a very special case with 72
the boundary condition at the sea bottom given by a linearly increasing sea-bottom 73
deformation for 1-D sea-bottom deformation (Eqs. (2.67) and (2.68) in Levin and 74
Nosov [2009]). A solution for the integration over the angular frequency ω in Eq. (6) 75
has not yet been obtained for the sea-bottom deformation generally given by Eq. (4). 76
5
The main difficulty with respect to the integration is that the residue theory is not 77
applicable to the sea-bottom deformation that is given by the arbitrary function of χ t( ) 78
or χ t( ) = δ t( ) . In the following, we theoretically derive the solution in the time domain 79
for the sea-bottom deformation that is given by the arbitrary function of χ t( ) . 80
81
A general solution: impulse response 82
We obtained the solution for the instantaneous sea-bottom deformation or for the 83
impulse response of the source time function given by χ t( ) = δ t( ) . The solution is 84
obtained as follows: 85

By convoluting an arbitrary function of χ t( ) with Eq. (17), we now obtain the 94
solution of the velocity potential with respect to the function generally given by Eq. (4), 95
as follows: 96

Using Eq. (17), we obtain the horizontal components of the velocity field 100
vH = vxex + vyey , the vertical component of the velocity vz , and the height of the water 101
surface η for an instantaneous sea-bottom deformation, or the velocity at the bottom 102
is given by the delta function, vz (x, t) z=−h0 = d x, y( )δ t( ) as follows: 103

where ∇H is the gradient in the horizontal plane given by ∇H = ∂ ∂x ex +∂ ∂yey , and 111
kH is the wavenumber vector in the horizontal plane given by kH = kxex + kyey . Here, 112
we introduced the distribution functions of the horizontal and vertical components of 113
the velocity, as follows: 114
115
fH k, z,h0( ) = coshkz+ tanhkh0 sinhkz , (23)
116
fz k, z,h0( ) = sinhkztanhkh0
+ coshkz . (24) 117
118
We discuss the meaning of these distribution functions (Eqs. (23) and (24)) together 119
with the interpretations of Eqs. (20) through (22) in the following section. We can 120
confirm that Eqs. (20) through (22) satisfy ∇⋅v = 0 and the boundary conditions (Eqs. 121
(2) through (4)). 122
It is also beneficial to provide a representation for the pressure at the sea bottom 123
because an ocean-bottom pressure gauge has been often used for recording tsunami 124
generation and propagation [e.g., Tang et al. 2011; Tsushima et al. 2012]. The pressure 125
in the ocean is given by the sum of the hydrostatic pressure and an excess pressure due 126
to the wave motion, i.e., −ρ0g0z+ pe , where the excess pressure is given by the velocity 127
8
potential as pe = −ρ0 ∂φ ∂t . Using the velocity potential of Eq. (19), we obtain the 128
excess pressure brought about by the tsunami at the sea bottom as follows: 129

This equation is similar but not identical to that obtained by Kervell et al. [2007]. 137
Kervella et al. [2007] derived the pressure at the sea bottom after an instantaneous 138
sea-bottom uplift. However, they did not consider a source term, so that the pressure 139
change during the source process time cannot be inclusive. On the other hand, Eq. (26) 140
includes an additional term (the second term in brackets { } in Eq. (26)) as a source 141
term, which represents the contribution from the source. This term leads to an increase 142
in excess pressure at the sea bottom when the sea-bottom uplifts with an increasing rate 143
dχ dt > 0 . 144
