Abstract
There are reported many serious disasters associated with water waves due to landslides suddenly inflowing into a reservoir and a bay. The estimation of water waves property has been carried out through the calculation of finite defferential method. This paper discusses the numerical procedure of finite element method to predict the water waves generated by landslides, and presents the numerical procedure simply combined with the balancing tensor diffusivity term into the finite element method in order to stabilize the numerical calculation. The results of the previous model experiments are compared with the properiety of the present method.
