A shallow-water equation (SWE) is used to simulate earthquake-induced water waves in this study. A finite-difference method is\nused to calculate the SWE. The model is verified against the models of Sato and of Demirel and Aydin with three kinds of seismic\nwaves, and the numerical results of earthquake-induced water waves calculated using the proposed model are reasonable. It is also\ndemonstrated that the proposed model is reliable. Finally, an empirical equation for the maximum water elevation of earthquakeinduced\nwater waves is developed based on the results obtained using the model, which is an improvement on former models.
