FY 1980 Normal modes of oscillation in relation to storm surge and tsunami in Osaka Bay, Japan (1) Nakamura, S., and H.G. Loomis La Mer, 18(2), 21–27 (1980) In order to study normal modes of oscillation of Osaka Bay, Japan, the authors applied numerical scheme of finite difference method. An Osaka Bay model in this study has an opening at Tomogashima Passage, and Akashi Strait and Yodo River are considered to be closed. The bathymetry is taken from a nautical chart. The result suggests that the initial three modes are possible to appear in case of storm surge in Osaka Bay. The twelfth mode is quite similar in pattern to the resonant mode which was induced by an incident tsunami, though it is accepted as a general that any of the higher modes can be scarcely expected in a bay.
