The Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred on March 11, 2011 caused a tsunami of up to 4.6 m in the city of Tagajo, killing 188 people. One of the factors that caused many casualties in Tagajo City is the characteristic of the urban tsunami, "the tsunami rushed in from unexpected directions." Based on this feature, we are conducting research on what kind of measures can be taken to suppress wave height, wave speed, and wave power.
The urban tsunami observed in Tagajo City is thought to be observed in the "Nankai Trough Giant Earthquake". In order to prevent such damage, we thought that it would be possible to minimize the damage caused by the tsunami by simulating the urban area at the time of the tsunami using tsunami generators, water source devices, building models, etc. ..
