Abstract

Ishinomaki city was severely damaged by the tsunami of the Great East Japan Earthquake on 2011. Our target is to simulate impact by the tsunami run-up with many floating objects on coastal areas and an urban area of Ishinomaki. Zoom-up analysis by three analyses stages is adopted to solve a large area from an epicenter to an urban area. In the first stage, the two-dimensional shallow-water analysis is solved from the epicenter to the coastal areas. In the second and third stages, the three-dimensional tsunami run-up analyses are solved for the coastal areas using the hierarchical domain decomposition explicit moving particle simulation (MPS) method. Since our target is the tsunami run-up analysis in the urban area in the third stage, we performed three kinds of tsunami analyses. The first analysis was the two tanks floating between buildings. The second analysis was the analysis of 431 floating objects. The third analysis was the elastic analysis for buildings by fluid pressure.
