Application MuTsunami in Mentawai Island Indonesia

Abstract

Software MuTsunami as research tool in Coastal Research Group Institut Teknologi Bandung, was applied to simulate propagation of tsunami and sediment transport in Mentawai. The Tsunami occurred in 25 October 2010, 21:42:22 (GMT +7). The hydrodynamic model was based on Non-Orthogonal curvilinear coordinate in spherical coordinate. The results of simulation were compared with observational data, which was collected by group of researcher from Institut Teknologi Bandung, Waseda University, and Yokohama National University. The agreement between the model and observational data are very good.
