Outline of Final Research Achievements

Purpose of this research is clarification of tsunami fires, and to develop a methodology to predict damages resulting in the event of future disasters. First, the chain of circumstances about tsunami fires have been clarified by the open information and the inquiring survey in Kesennuma bay area. Next, the movements of tsunami flow with debris models have been experimented by generating a artificial tsunami in the scale terrain model of large aquarium. And these movements have also been checked by tsunami simulator. In another experiment, the relationships of wind speed and fire spread speed have been measured by burning heavy oil and debris models in water tank. At the end, the tsunami fires have been reproduced by PC simulation program with calculated debris amounts on Geographic Information Systems in this area. As a result, the methodology to predict damages in future disasters have been developed by verifying this reproducibility.
