Recent studies suggest the propagation and run-up of tsunamis can be strongly influenced by dispersion due to non-hydrostatic effects, which can result in up to 60% higher values of coastal run-up than the ones calculated by hydrostatic models. In this communication the validation of a nonhydrostatic version of MOHID model is presented. This version features a newly introduced pressure correction method. The validation process is based in the benchmarking methodology proposed by NOAA (http://nctr.pmel.noaa.gov/benchmark/), for numerical models aimed at the study of tsunami events. It consisted in running a battery of tests, with increasingly complex geometries, with the objective of comparing the numerical results with their analytical solutions, laboratory data or field data. These results include snapshots of the wave propagation, time series of surface elevations and inundation maps. Field (Tohoku tsunami), lab and analytic results are compared with MOHID results run in non-hydrostatic and hydrostatic mode.
