“…In the limit of vanishing solids fraction, D-Claw's model equations reduce to the nonlinear shallow-water equations that are commonly used for tsunami modeling. In fact, D-Claw provides a generalization and extension of the tsunami modeling software GeoClaw [George, 2006;Berger et al, 2011;LeVeque et al, 2011;Mandli et al, 2016], and it reproduces GeoClaw solutions if solids are absent. Like GeoClaw, D-Claw employs adaptive mesh refinement (AMR), finite-volume shock-capturing algorithms [LeVeque, 2002], inundation-front resolution, and well-balanced preservation of static and flowing steady states [George, 2008[George, , 2011George and Iverson, 2014].…”
