Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study developed Floating Large size Tsunami Shelter (FLTS) which refuge from the approach of huge size Tsunami. In this study, it was carried out model scale experiment for the confirmation of behave within the huge size Tsunami. Furthermore, development a numerical analysis program for the simulation of FLTS behave in Tsunami .The improvement of numerical result was carried out by the comparison of experiment one. The results are shown that FLTS motion in Tsunami from model size experiment and numerical analysis simulation.
