ABSTRACT
A middle size experiental wave
generator has been implemented is the Ujikawa Open Laboratory, Disaster Prevention
Research Institute, Kyoto University. The generator is composed of a pistontype
wave maker, a head strage water tank and a current generator to mainly reproduce
long waves like tsunami and storm surge. The paper
desribes several experimental series to predict the applicability of the generator to model
tests. The three operating sysemes are capable to be controlled in one operating
sysytem and start time is contorolled separately according with the target tsunami
and storm surge profiles. A sharp tsunami profile is reproduced in adjusting the
start timing of piston type wave maker and opening gates of head storage tunk. Any
type of tsunami waves are reproduced in the generator and it becomes a storong tool
to predict the effective of “resiliency” of hardwares.
