From: Numerical simulations to account for boulder movements on Lanyu Island, Taiwan: tsunami or storm?

Figure 14

Result of the numerical simulation at Lighthouse (LH). (A) Location of boulders at LH (base map is from Google Earth). The bold arrow shows the boulder which is the maximum in this area. (B) Photograph of a boulder. (C) Topographic profile. Boulder size is classified by length of the long axis. (D) Maximum flow depth. The triangle shows the a-axis length of boulders. (E) Maximum flow velocity. The triangle denotes the flow velocity (rolling) of boulders. The dot-dashed lines in (D) and (E) show the maximum flow depth and maximum flow velocity, respectively, caused by the tsunami (Hsu et al. 2012).
