Researchers simulate 2.5-meter-high tsunami
YOKOSUKA, Kanagawa Pref. (Kyodo) A research group studying protection measures against a massive tsunami succeeded in simulating an unprecedented 2.5-meter wave Wednesday.
Life-size dolls and other items placed inside a sluice are washed away Wednesday by the force of an artificial 2.5-meter tsunami at the Port and Airport Research Institute in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture.
During an experiment made public to the media, the Port and Airport Research Institute simulated the huge tsunami using a narrow waterway.
It is the first time researchers anywhere have succeeded in simulating a tsunami as high as 2.5 meters, according to the institute, an independent administrative agency under the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Ministry.
Institute researchers said they hope the experiment will help unravel the destructive mechanism of tsunamis.
For the study, the institute developed a 5-meter-deep concrete tank measuring 184 meters long and 3.5 meters wide. It spent about 30 million yen this spring to renovate the device to generate a tsunami after the deadly waves that struck the Indian Ocean in December.
To simulate the damage from a killer tsunami, the institute installed exterior walls of a wooden house and life-size dolls inside the tank. It generated a wave with a maximum pressure of 10 tons per square meter, about a twenty-fifth of what was seen in the Dec. 26 tsunami off Indonesia's Sumatra Island.
