2 Characteristics of two Tsunami Events in Kuril Islands 20 km 12 0k m Large M8 earthquakes occurred in Kuril Trench in 2006 and 2007; the former is an interplate event and the other is an intraplate event km 25 0 [Event 1] 2006 Nov. 15 km After Yamanaka (2006; 2007) [Event 2] 2007 Jan Hokkaido Japa n Tr h= m [Event 2] 2007 Jan. 13 Izu -O ara w a ga s h roug T i ka Nan ch Kyushu n Tr e Honshu h e nc ench r il T r u K [Event 1] 2006 Nov. 15 North American Plate Interplate Intraplate

3 JMA Tsunami Alert System Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) made a number of tsunami simulation and made a tsunami height database for possible events occurring around Japan. Tsunami Database (JMA, 1999-) for 4000 Event * Source Depth (h=0,5,10km..) * Magnitude (M6,7,8, ) 100,000 stories 66 areas 4000 events After JMA

4 Tsunami Alert [1 st Event] 2006 Nov. 15 ( Mj7.9; Mw8.2) JMA Tsunami Alert [2 nd Event] 2007 Jan 13 (Mj8.2; Mw8.2) Large Tsunami (>3m) Tsunami (>2m) Warning (<0.5m) Tsunami (>2m) Tsunami (>2m) 60min 60min Warning (<0.5m) Warning (<0.5m) After JMA (2006;2007)

5 Observed Tsunami Tide gage record shows larger tsunami from the 1 st (2006) event and very weak tsunami from the 2 nd (2007) event. Observation: [Event 1] 2006 Nov. 15 Hachinohe: 53cm Under Estimation Hachinohe: 17cm [Event 2] 2007 Jan. 13 Over Estimation Mistake Alert! After JMA (2007)

6 Tsunami Simulation We made tsunami simulation for using a conventional tsunami generation/propagation model assuming: (1) Deformation of seafloor posed by earthquake is calculated using program of Okada (1985) assuming homogeneous, half-space. (2) Elevation of sealevel (initial tsunami) is assumed to be same as seafloor deformation (3) Propagation of tsunami is calculated by using a linear, long-wave theory. Linear long-wave equation M η = gh t x N η = gh t y Equation of continuity η t M N = x y M N = = η h η h udz vdz η: sea-level fluctuation h: depth of sea floor

7 Tsunami Simulation [Event 1] 2006 Nov. 15 [Event 2] 2007 Jan. 13 A parallel tsunami simulation code (Saito and Furumura, 2007) is used which took 30 min using 16CPU of AMD Opteron.

8 Simulation Results Simulation results are compared with the tide gauge data at offshore Tokachi. It is indicating under and overestimation of tsunami for 1 st and 2 nd events, respectively, similar to JMA alert. Height [mm] [Event 1] 2006 Nov Time [min.] 30cm 20cm BPF: ,000s Tide Gauge. Calculation [Event 2] 2007 Jan. 13 Under Estimation Height [mm] Time [min.] Tide Gauge Data: after JAMSTEC 5cm 20cm Tide Gauge. Calculation Over Estimation

9 Tsunami Simulation Conventional Assumptions: (1) Deformation of seafloor posed by earthquake is evaluated using program of Okada (1985) assuming homogeneous, half-space. (2) Elevation of sealevel (initial condition of tsunami) is assumed to be same as seafloor deformation (3) Propagation of tsunami is simulated by using a linear, long-wave theory.

10 Accurate Tsunami Simulation ー Challenge 2. FDM Simulation of tsunami generation/propagation -Navier-Stokkes Equations in 3D -Nonlinearity, Viscosity Friction, Dispersion, etc V (x,y,t) or P (x,y,t) Coupling (one way) V (x,y,t) Acretionary wedge Oceanic Crust OceanicMantle After IFREE/JAMSTEC 1. FDM Simulation of Seismic Waves - Equation of Motions in 3D - 3D Heterogeneous structure - Source Slip model

11 FDM Simulation of Seismic Wave /Deformation of Seabed Vertical Deformation of Seafloor posed by earthquake is calculated by FDM using heterogeneous subduction zone structure Equation of Motions: U σ xp σ yp σ zp ρ & p = + + x y z + Constitutive Equations (Stress-Strain) f p σ pq U = λ x x + U y y + U z z δ pq U + μ q p + U q p Accretionary Prism (Vp/Vs=2.2; σ=0.37) Fault Source - Low-angle reverse fault - W=30 km - Rupture Speed, Vr=3km/s 2D FDM Simulation - Staggered-grid,8 th -order - 200km*100km (D=0.25km) - T=100sec - CPU, 10 min (Opteron 2.4GHz) Depth [km] Seabed Oceanic Crust (Vp/Vs= ; σ= ) Oceanic Mantle (Vp/Vs=1.73; σ=0.25) Upper Crust Lower Crust Distance [km] (Vp/Vs= ; σ= )

14 3D FDM Simulation Summary- Large deformation occurs when earthquake fault cut soft acretionary wedge in the trench, which should causes large tsunami This is considered the cause of unusually large tsunami during shallow subduction zone earthquakes such as 1896 Sanriku M8.5 earthquake (e.g. Fukao, 1979; Satake and Tanioka, 1999, etc. ) and may also be the case for the 1st (2006) event? [Event 1] 2006 Nov. 15 [Event 2] 2007 Jan. 13

15 Effect of Deep Sea The Long-wave, shallow water approximation used in the conventional tsunami simulation does not simulate tsunami propagation in deep ( m) sea? [Event 1] 2006 Nov. 15 [Event 2] 2007 Jan. 13 Sea Depth: m

19 Simulation of tsunami propagation: (2) Deep (6000m) water Attenuation of tsunami height due to dispersion is very significant as propagating in deep sea especially for narrow tsunami (a) Wide Tsunami (W=60km) Horizontal View (b) Narrow Tsunami (W=20km) Horizontal View Tsunami 3m Tsunami Flow 6000m Flow Distance: 500km Deep Sea (h=6000m) D0=5m W=20km, 60km
