Abstract
This paper presents results of numerical modelling of tsunami waves generation by small bottom displacements in compressible ocean of variable depth. The problem is considered within the framework of the linear potential theory. Free surface disturbance, dynamic pressure distribution, and energy of compressible water layer for different bottom profiles are calculated, and analyzed.
