Abstract

Physical and mathematical model studies conducted to investigate the generation and propagation of waves created by hypothetical movements of the 1.8 billion cu yd Downie slide, located on the Columbia River. Two physical models were constructed reproducing about 17 mile (27.3 km) of reservoir and simulating the movement of the slide. A mathematical model using an explicit finite difference method to numerically integrate the one-dimensional Saint Venant equations was used to propagate the waves in the reservoir about forty miles on either side of the slide.--Modified journal abstract.
