Authors carried out field survey of the disaster due to the Dec 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami at Kirinda fishing port in Sri Lanka. We observed severe scour at the harbor mouth, where used to be covered by large amount of accumulated sediments. In order to investigate the physical mechanisms of this observed feature, we conducted a numerical analysis that computes tsunami propagation, sediment transport, and resulting beach topography changes. Model predictions successfully explained the topography change observed in Kirinda and indicated that the back-rushing flow, which concentrated at the harbor mouth, played significant role to cause extensive scours in Kirinda fishing port.
