Abstract

[1] The main principles of using computational tools in the solution of applied tsunami problems related to support the decisions of antirecessionary manages are formulated. A comparative assessment is given of the efficiency of known computational models and programming systems developed on their basis for hydrodynamic tsunami modeling.
