Within the framework of the nonlinear model of long waves, the numerical simulation of the tsunami evolution in the Black Sea caused by the Yalta earthquake of September 12, 1927 is performed. Two problems on propagation of tsunami waves from the elliptical source are solved: for the whole Black Sea water area and for the local part of the Crimea Southern coast. The calculations for the first numerical experiment are carried out on a 30-second bathymetric grid of the Black Sea. The sea level osc
