Tsunami run-up through the river is one of important features for better predictions and estimations of inundation characteristics. This study carried out numerical investigations of observed tsunami inundation around the Kido river especially focusing on the prediction of run-up speed of tsunami along the river. Based on non-linear long wave model, a sensitivity analysis was first carried out by changing several computational conditions such as tsunami profile, bottom frictions and the river discharge. It was found through this analysis that these conditions, within the range of expected uncertain variations, have certain influence on predicted run-up speed of tsunami. Second, this study also investigated the influence of the different discretization schemes of the model on predictive skills of the speed of tsunami run-up. Difference of conservative and non-conservative forms of non-linear term was investigated through numerical experiments of non-viscosity Burgers equations and it was found that the difference of these forms has significant influence on the predicted propagation speed of the bore. The same analysis was applied in the case of the Kido river and it was found that the tsunami run-up speed was increased up to 40% by selecting appropriate discretization schemes of conservative form.
