20 Tsunami Height Maximum Case Height (m) M w

21 Tsunami Height Mw = 9.0 Mw = 8.5 In Vietnam, tsunami height = m depth

22 Current Velocity Mw = 9.0 In Vietnam, current velocity = m depth

23 Estimation of Current Velocity for Long Wave v =η g / h η h v = wave height = water depth = current velocity

24 Comparison of Current Velocity Current (m/s) 0.03 Estimated Analyzed Current (m/s) Time (hrs) Estimated Analyzed Time (hrs)

25 Comparison of Current Velocity Analyzed result Estimated result

26 Conclusions 1. The earthquake causes large wave height and current velocity off-shore South-eastern China, and Northwestern Philippines, and Eastern Vietnam. The Gulf of Thailand is less affected by the tsunamis generated by fault ruptures off the shore of the Philippines because of the diffraction of tsunamis at the southern part of Vietnam. 2. Towards Malaysia and Thailand, the tsunami slows down due to the relatively shallow water depth. The tsunami arrives Malaysia in about 9 hr, and Gulf of Thailand in 12 hr. 3. The maximum wave height is about 0.65 m near the shores of Thailand. And the maximum wave current is about 0.1 m/s.
