Research has begun with the aim of re-evaluating the tsunami load specifications that should be included in the design of evacuation buildings.
The close-up tsunami load simulation research began with the aim of re-evaluating the tsunami load specifications that evacuation buildings should possess, by gaining a detailed understanding of the behavior of loads on buildings caused by tsunamis resulting from the frequent occurrence of subduction zone earthquakes. However, in light of the unprecedented damage caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake and the resulting massive tsunami, there has arisen a necessity for simulations that were not included in previous settings. Specifically, tsunami load evaluations for wave heights of 10 to 20 meters and assessments of tsunami loads on groups of buildings are now considered essential and urgent for the design of facilities constructed along the coast, not just for evacuation buildings.

basic information
**Reproduction of Tsunami** - Conduct reproduction of tsunamis using tsunami tanks owned by organizations such as the Airport and Port Research Institute, and trace the loads that waves exert on buildings. - Confirm that the trends in loads over time reproduce the characteristics of the tsunami. **Simulation** - Construct a detailed building model based on a three-story elementary school in Shikoku. - Set tsunami conditions ranging from 1 to 8 meters that could be anticipated at the time, and evaluate the dynamic load distribution on the building's surface and the overturning moments. - Quantitatively assess the effect of providing openings in the building, such as pilotis, to reduce tsunami loads. **Future Simulations** - Set conditions for flooding depths with wave heights exceeding 10 meters. - Understand the effects of breakwaters and seabed topography. - Analyze not just individual buildings but also recreate streetscapes. - Simulate backwash. - Simulate floating objects such as vessels and structures (FreeMotion function). - Analyze the behavior of water inside the tank when subjected to seismic loads.

Company information
In environmental simulation, we are engaged in the independent development and sale of a three-dimensional fluid analysis program, as well as contract analysis services using this software. For over a decade, we have been involved in thermal fluid analysis in fields such as architecture, civil engineering, machinery, and electronics, handling numerous analyses and accumulating a wealth of know-how and knowledge. Our diverse analysis and visualization functions, honed through practical experience, have received high praise as CFD software from many companies and research institutions. ● Import function for BIM-compatible CAD data such as Revit and DXF ● Import function for geographic information system (GIS) data ● SuperCartesian function that freely represents diagonal boundaries and complex curved surfaces ● High-speed, high-precision radiation calculations and high-precision turbulence analysis using DNS ● Moving boundary problem analysis function that accommodates the movement of multiple objects in space ● User-friendly interface and easy-to-understand animation features Of course, we also provide software support and accept contract analyses. Focusing on air conditioning ventilation and wind environment analysis, we offer high cost-performance solutions for a wide range of problems, from simple and small-scale issues to complex and large-scale analyses. We look forward to your visit, along with our extensive analysis case studies.
