Abstract

Responding to the devastating damage caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake, coastal researchers and practitioners start to investigate the possible reactions towards supposed maximum tsunamis throughout Japan. In Kagoshima prefecture, caution should be paid on not only seismic tsunamis along plate boundaries, but also volcanic tsunamis caused by sea bottom eruptions near the Sakurajima Island. Since the energy of tsunamis occurred in the domain north of Sakurajima Island is confined in the closed basin, the fluctuating motions are possibly totally different from those in open sea areas. The present study conducts numerical analyses on the tsunami propagations by varying the source points and sea bottom deformations, and investigates the characteristics of the tsunamis inherent to the closed water basins.
