Abstract: This paper describes the development of a boundary
fitted nested grid (BFNG) model to compute tsunami propagation of
2004 Indonesian tsunami in Southern Thailand coastal waters. We
develop a numerical model employing the shallow water nested
model and an orthogonal boundary fitted grid to investigate the
tsunami impact on the Southern Thailand due to the Indonesian
tsunami of 2004. Comparisons of water surface elevation obtained
from numerical simulations and field measurements are made.
