Abstract
A fast tsunami simulation system was developed which utilized the superposition of point source computations stocked as a database. The single point source was represented by the Gaussian distribution with s=5 km. The propagation of the point source was computed by using the linear Boussinesq theory. The accuracy of the model was discussed in representing the actual tsunami source profile as well as in the dispersive tsunami propagation. The system was applied to a hypothetical Japan Sea tsunami used in the disaster mitigation planning of Tottori Prefecture. The system successfully displayed the sensitivity of local tsunami height to the tsunami source location and thus demonstrated the performance to assist specific evacuation planning in individual towns and cities.
