DEVELOPMENT OF A MODEL FOR THE TSUNAMI DRIFTS ANALYSIS CONSIDERING EFFECTS OF STRUCTURES AND TSUNAMI BARRIER

Abstract

 In this study, we developed the model for tsunami drifts analysis considering effects of structures such as buildings and tsunami barriers. The developed model can consider the interaction between tsunami drifts and tsunami propagation. The model can also be considered behavier of the tsunami drifts at a wide variety of situation and can be extended based on 2-dimensional tsunami simulation model. As the example of application, we applied for a analysis of behavior of tsunami drifts around a building to estimate the validity of developed model and applied for a variety of tsunami drifts around structures. From these results, the deloveloped model can estimate a wide variety tsunami drifts behavior by using extended tsunami simulation model.
