--aquatic wave building/degradation theory( tsunami)--

   this concept is for friends, in the many islands of this world, i think they may find
this idea of some use--

   the tsunami( initial formation dynamics)--

    the tsunami... a giant wave, formed by an earthquake on the ocean's sea floor...we know seismic activity causes this phenomenon( common knowledge), but the dynamics of it's conception, remain a mystery--

    i suggest, that if we imagine the initial moments of a tsunami wave, viewed as they happen( in miniature), the events would be seen in the form a large fissure, opening up on the bottom of your bathtub, and releasing an enormous volume of gas, rising to the surface all at once, creating an aquatic "berm", and "geyser", from the gasses rapid ascent( likely a pocket of natural gas in a full-sized tsunami), thus creating the giant wave that eventually makes land-fall, and brings destruction--

the point--

     in my opinion, the vibrations on the sea floor are far to great a distance from the surface, to cause the wave, and are of a "back-and-forth motion"(see earth quake dynamics post), i feel the release of trapped gases, in the sea floor, rising to the surface, are the true instigators of this phenomenon--
                                               

  wave theory( aquatic)--

     in the case of a tsunami, there is a large wave created from an earthquake, or other event, this large wave, then travels from the epicenter, outwards, to the many shores nearby, the action is similar to a rope tied to a post, that is moved up and down in a rhythmic pattern( at regular intervals)--

    the first large wave moves slowly, as a giant "swell", like moving a rope tied to a post...up, then down quickly, and then pulling the rope back towards you, this action causes the loop, or "wave" created, to travel down the rope, to the post( like a tsunami)--

  aftershocks--

    other smaller waves are created, after the initial geyser, and large wave( tsunami) occur...they move faster, and "catch up" to the larger wave( due in part to surface tension...as the large wave "wicks", or "draws", the smaller after-shock waves to it), harmonize with it, and are then added to the total size( or exponent), of the tsunami wave's "base", and equal "peak", or "mean", this principal displays the reason a tsunami wave builds, as it moves toward land, crests, and makes contact--

  also of note--

    i believe the reason a "swell", becomes a "wave", as it nears land, is from the lack of opposing pressure, from the body of water on the forward side of the wave( due to there being no water on land), this causes the top, or "peak", of the wave to tilt forward( break), on an "axis", and create, a "tube" that surfers like to ride( kowabunga)--

 wave break/crest dynamics--

     if more pressure is on the "building" side of the wave( back), than is on the "leading side"( front) pushing in the opposite direction the wave is traveling, the weight of the water on the trailing side, shifts the center of gravity of the wave, to the front, or "leading " side, and the wave crests, or "breaks"--

  note--
  --the concept mentioned above, is the heart of the method i propose be used, for "cancelling", or degrading, a wave( tsunami), to nullify, and possibly completely cancel it's effects--

 the numbers/geometry--

    in the ocean, i suggest that a wave's peak, or "mean" height, is equal to it's base, at the "waterline", after the wave has traveled a certain distance, from the site of initial creation( epicenter), as i feel there is an equal, but not visible, wave under the waterline of the ocean, that is the inverse, or opposite, of the one on the surface( above the waterline)...sine/cosine principal--

   i also believe we can utilize isosceles triangle math, for initial wave geometry( due to high pressure on the trailing side of the wave, creating a wave that is very high, with a small base), but, after the wave travels for a distance, the wave "equalizes"( like all things in nature tend to do), from the wave's forward pressure harmonizing, with the pressure of the water in front of the wave...as a result, the wave's shape, seen as as a triangle, becomes equilateral in shape, and nature--

wave sign/cosign issue--

    i suggest, that the distance between the peaks of the main wave, and the closest aftershock wave behind it, along with the height of these two waves, will show the "frequency" of their travel...to display this concept, i contend that by dropping a few buoys, directly in the path of the tsunami, the rate of travel can be derived( wave frequency), by analyzing the distance the buoy travels, in a given time-period...if this is correct, the distance above the waterline we see, is also true below the water line( sign/cosign), so, in my opinion, without considering this sine/cosine principal, calcing the rate of travel( speed), and expected "land-fall" of a tsunami...on paper, is not currently possible, as the wave is not paper thin, and what is viewed on the surface of the ocean, is also happening underwater, this distance must  be considered as well...i will up-load a diagram soon...


  tsunami wave reduction maneuver--

    i suggest, a simple method of "buzzing" a tsunami's wave-front, in a parallel fashion, with a large destroyer( or other military vessel), thereby creating a parallel wake, to reduce the tsunamis strength...will work, the ships would pass in front of the tsunami, at regular intervals, to create an opposing "pressure fence", of rhythmic waves--

 note--

   i will mention, that the united states has many a sturdy military vessel in "moth-balls", that are of the proper size, and strength, to perform the dangerous duty of "tsunami-busting", lying in wait, ready to see action, testing this concept--

   i further suggest, that the math on this one is derivable from "distance to geo-sync" math( see "distance to geo-sync" post)...weight of water volume, minus distance to landfall, minus drag( weight of water, divided by the square inches of wave's volume), thus equaling the force, in foot-pounds, to hit land--

    i believe that this math might also be of use to find the "degradation" of a wave, over long distances, as i feel that after the pressure on the wave's "trailing" side, subsides, the waves "peak", and or "base", will no longer be congruent( and the wave will "flatten-out")...if this is true, wave "base-to-height proportions" viewed from the air, could show the total strength, and range, of a tsunami--

 tsunami wave building theory--


   as we all know, from driving in mountainous regions, that it takes much longer to go a short distance on the map( between towns), if mountains must be crossed to get there, i feel this principal holds true of waves on the ocean as well, as a small wave travels less distance up and down, to get to the same fixed point, as a large one, the reduced distance, moved up and down, by a small wave, allows it to reach a fixed point faster, possibly explaining why, the small ripples after the larger initial tsunami event, "catch-up" with the larger wave, that was created first, and build( combine), adding-to the main tsunami wave front--

    "wave multiplication math" can then be generated, to ascertain the expected size of the wave to hit land, after initial creation, from the value of the distance to land-fall( minutes), adding together the ripples per min, and the size of the base of each ripple, plus the size of the largest( initial) wave's base, to obtain an accurate model of the size of the expected wave making land-fall...

  here is the concept in numeric form--

     total small waves( ripples) before land-fall  =  distance, divided by wave peak height( base-length),

    plus the height( base-width), of the initial large wave--

   80 miles to land, divided by 4, 20 foot waves = an 80 foot wave, + the 40 foot initial wave( tsunami) = 120 foot "wave-exponent" expected to hit land--
   
  the initial 40 foot wave, has a 40 foot base, divide distance from the wave's epicenter, to land, by the base divided by 2, to get the "expected initial land-fall" numbers, the number changes as the wave "builds" and the size increases, from smaller waves "catching-up" with the initial large wave( tsunami), and changing the "epicenter-to-land-fall time"--

     ( height of total small)         ( initial large)     ( total wave size)
    ( waves before land-fall)        ( wave)          ( before land-fall)           ( pressure from)
    20  +  20  +  20  +  20    +       40         =          120                 <--  ( random  waves)

    0         0        0       0       ( waterline)
 
   -20    -20    -20    -20     ( inverse wave under-water)



    wave cancellation--

    i suggest, that all waves have three parts, the "front", or "leading side", the middle, or "mean", and the "trailing", or "building" side...i also feel that one of the factors that build a wave, are the small waves, traveling from the epicenter, that catch-up to the wave, and increase it's size( heading away from the epicenter)...in the opposite direction( pressure towards the epicenter), such as "random waves", on the "leading side", do not slow the wave, as they are not at "regular intervals", or "harmonized"( like an audio frequency), but those that are harmonized, that oppose the waves front, will reduce it's strength by the value of their opposing pressure...so, i believe that if the large tsunami wave's "mean", or peak height, is expressed as a number, "8", and it encounters a wave with a value of "2" moving in an opposing direction , the tsunami wave is then canceled, or clipped, by the "sum" of the opposing wave's pressure, before continuing onward to land-fall...

work continues below this line...put of time at the library, best wishes, john kruschke 


   if in japan, smaller regular waves are generated by ships with "wave-boards" on the sides of the hulls of large ships work together to create these smaller waves( like a wave-fence) that move away from the island at regular intervals, they might then "intercept" the tsunami wave, and reduce or cancel it's effects--

     to test this concept, a person could put a small hole in a paper cup, and let drops of a certain size hit the water in their bath-tub( creating the proper size waves, or ripples), to cancel any "tsunamis", by generating the smaller waves right in front of a floating object( island), a "wave-fence" is created--

   to test it's effectiveness, a wave, or "tsunami", must be created with your arm, the large wave( tsunami) created, then moves in the direction of the island...

   the waves heading towards the tsunami, for protection, will soon make contact with the tsunami's wave-front, and then cancel, or reduce the size of the wave, perhaps causing the wave to move around the the epicenter of the island-protection area, due to wave cancellation dynamics...


(pounds)          (feet)             (foot-pounds)
 weight        -  distance     =        force  <---if waves on leading side of tsunami are random
2,000,000  -   540,000    =    1,460,000

                      (opposing)
                      (pressure)
 (pounds)       (wt % sq in)     (feet)        (foot-pounds)
  weight    +        drag        - distance  =  force  <--if opposing waves are in regular intervals
 200,000                            54,0000

    weight forward - weight against = forward weight exponent

     weight forward exponent - distance to landfall = foot-pounds to hit land

  i have been taking a break from this one and a few others, i will get back to it later--

      out of time at the library today--
