Abstract
A review of the known historic asteroid impacts generating huge tsunamis at the sea surface is provided. Different approaches from the linear theories to Navier–Stokes equations and hydrocode models are very briefly presented or referenced. The propagation and run-up stage of tsunamis is discussed and the important role of the sea bottom topography is emphasized. Further studies focusing on propagation and run-up are suggested to extend previous works on the subject. To cite this article: C. Kharif, E. Pelinovsky, C. R. Physique 6 (2005). Une revue des impacts d'astéroïdes survenus dans le passé et ayant généré d'énormes tsunamis à la surface de l'océan est présentée. Différentes approches depuis les théories linéaires aux équations de Navier–Stokes et aux modèles de type hydrocode sont présentées succinctement ou citées en références. La propagation de tsunamis et leur ‘run-up’ sont discutés et le rôle majeur tenu par la bathymétrie est mis en avant. Des études futures sur la propagation et le ‘run-up’ sont proposées afin d'étendre les travaux antérieurs sur le sujet. Pour citer cet article : C. Kharif, E. Pelinovsky, C. R.
