3 Objective & Study Flow Improving tsunami inundation modeling with regard to tsunami inundation velocity in order to estimate destruction of building. Verification of Tsunami Inundation Modeling Development of New Roughness Coefficient Model

4 Study Area & Tsunami Video (c) NHK Fujitsuka Yuriage Kozukahara Sendai city Natori city

5 Methodology of Aerial Video Analysis Geometric Correction Measure Tsunami Velocity v p = x t Tsunami flood m v f = x t m 6 5 4

6 Measured Value of Tsunami Velocities Front Velocity [m/s] At Rice Field At Residential Area Flow Velocity [m/s] Distance from Coastline [m] Distance from Coastline [m] Front Velocity [m/s] At Rice Field At Residential Area Distance from Coastline [m]

7 Simulation of The 2011 Tohoku Tsunami Tsunami numerical modeling Tsunami run-up modeling conditions

8 Reproducibility of Tsunami Velocities Front Velocity [m/s] Case B (post-disaster) Case A (pre-disaster) Front Velocity [m/s] At Rice field At Residential area Distance from coastline Coastline [m] Distance from coastline Coastline [m]

9 Reproducibility of Tsunami Velocities Flow velocity Velocity [m/s] Measured Case B (post-disaster) Case A (pre-disaster) Distance from Coastline coastline [m] The pre-disaster condition was the most consistent to yield good estimates of tsunami front velocity. The reproducibility of tsunami flow velocity was quite good in the post-disaster condition.

10 Objective & Study Flow Improving tsunami inundation modeling with regard to tsunami inundation velocities in order to estimate building destruction. Verification of Tsunami Inundation Modeling Development of New Roughness Coefficient Model
