Tsunami Simulation (32-bit versus 64-bit)

This simulation was run using Mathematica 5.2 on both a 32-bit computer and a 64-bit computer to take advantage of the additional memory available. The additional memory allowed a finer solution grid and thus more data. The 32-bit simulation contains many artifacts since the grid was not fine enough to accurately represent the solution. NDSolve was the primary function used to obtain the numerical solution.
