Abstract

After the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake, it has been pointed out that Tokai, Tonankai and Nankai massive earthquakes with a magnitude of 9.0 could strike the Pacific coasts in western Japan. This study aims at investigating numerically propagation characteristics of tsunami generated by a 9.0 magnitude Tokai, Tonankai and Nankai massive earthquakes on the Pacific coasts and three major bays in Japan, Tokyo Bay, Ise Bay and Osaka Bay. It was revealed from the numerical results that the tsunami heights on the Pacific coasts for M9.0 earthquake were about twice as much as those for M8.7 earthquake and the first tsunami arrival time was faster at some areas distant from the tsunami source. Moreover, high water level in the bays was recognized to continue for a long time because of the enclosed bays.

2011년 일본동북지방 대지진 이후, 규모 9.0의 토카이, 토난카이 및 난카이 대규모 지진이 일본 서부의 태평양 해안을 내습할 수 있다는 주장이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 태평양 해안과 일본의 주요 3대 만인 도쿄만과 이세만 그리고 오사카만에서 규모 9.0의 토카이, 토난카이 및 난카이 대규모 지진에 의해 발생하는 지진해일의 전파 특성을 수치적으로 검토하였다. 본 연구에서 수행된 수치해석결과 M9.0의 지진에 의해 발생하는 태평양 해안에서의 지진해일 높이는 M8.7의 지진에 비해 그 크기가 약 2배에 달하며 지진원으로부터 떨어진 일부 지역에서는 빠른 지진해일의 도달시간을 확인하였다. 또한, 페쇄된 만의 영향에 의해 오랜 시간 동안 만내에서 고수위가 지속됨을 알 수 있었다.
