We develop a tsunami simulator integrating a 3-D fluid simulation technology that runs on large-scale parallel computers using smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method, together with a 2-D tsunami propagation simulation technique using a nonlinear shallow water wave model. We use the 2-D simulation to calculate tsunami propagation of scale of about 1000km from epicenter to near shore. The 3-D SPH method can be used to calculate the force that a tsunami can exert on a building, and to simulate flooding patterns in urban area of at most km scale. By applying the processing power of computers to the technologies resulting from this research, we seek to contribute to improved disaster preparedness and disaster mitigation through a better understanding of tsunami's mechanisms.
