Prof. Han Soo Lee explained tsunami &amp; storm surge modeling. Also, he explained a bit regarding Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMF) that he is working now in Seamless (tsunami &amp; storm surge) inundation model. The beneficial of AMR is the reduction of computational time with a high accuracy. For further works, AMR or any model related to coastal\/ocean will be studied by his students. He hoped to simulate AMR and apply the model in Yasuda-sensei works which is tsunami inundation in Wakayama Prefecture. Yasuda-sensei gave his idea for the feedback and gave us some references not only to a\u00a0model but for each person thesis research.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1759\" style=\"width: 821px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp\/~leehs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chess_web_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1759\" class=\"wp-image-1759 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp\/~leehs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chess_web_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"811\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp\/~leehs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chess_web_1.jpg 811w, https:\/\/home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp\/~leehs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chess_web_1-300x152.jpg 300w, https:\/\/home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp\/~leehs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chess_web_1-768x390.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 811px) 100vw, 811px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1759\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo of Chess Lab members with Lee-sensei (right) and Yasuda-sensei (second from right) at Kansai University (left picture) and Kansai University logo (right picture)<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>5.2 Disaster Reduction and Human Renovation Institution (DRI)<\/h2>\n<p>Kobe earthquake \u201cThe Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake\u201d occurred at 5:46 JST of January 17, 1955, with 7.3 magnitude earthquake centered in the northern part of Awaji Island in Hyogo Prefecture.

They also provide theater, called DYNACLUB, where dynamic images are displayed seamlessly on the front, right and left sides, even on the floor, the use of sound effects generated by a floor vibro-acoustic speaker further makes visitor feel as if the visitor were caught in real life tsunamis. This facility helps visitor to\u00a0experience the fear of tsunamis in an overwhelming, dynamic atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Osaka is below sea level and often inflicted by tsunami and tidal surge disasters. Areas below sea level are land areas whose surface is lower than average sea level at high tide. At the beginning of Showa period (~1927), a large volume of underground water was pumped up for industrial use, causing serious problems such as subsidence. Nowadays, approximately 40 km<sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0of areas are below sea level, home to approximately 1.08 million people. Osaka has been hit by typhoon, such as Muroto (1934), Jane (1950), 2<sup>nd<\/sup>\u00a0Muroto (1961) which gave death &amp; injuries to people, and submerged many houses.

Earthquakes often occur on plate boundaries. In the Nankai through, earthquakes happen when the deformation generated by plate subduction reaches the limit, causing a sudden basement slip. When this happens at the sea bottom, the vibration from the slip is conveyed to the ocean\u2019s surface, generating tsunamis. Japan is surrounded by Eurasia Plate, Pacific Plate, North American Plate and Philippine Sea Plate. It has been identified that giant earthquakes occurred in the Nankai Trough in the past in a 90-to 150-year cycle. It has found that in the three expected epicenter areas (Nankai, Tonankai, and Tokai through) three earthquakes often occur together in a short period of time.<\/p>\n<p>It predicted that Nankai earthquake will happen within 30 years with 50%-60% probability and within 50 years with 80%-90% probability while Tonankai earthquake will occur within 30 years with 60%-70% and within 50 years with more than approximately 90% probability. Tsunamis generated by the Tonankai\/Nankai earthquakes will hit Osaka coastal areas in the near future. In 2003, Osaka Prefecture conducted a tsunami simulation on the assumption that the largest-scale Nankai earthquake would occur (examining tsunamis in terms of height, arrival time and current speed). The tsunami heights indicated are expected maximum heights based on the assumption that earthquakes occur at high tide.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1773\" style=\"width: 602px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp\/~leehs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chess_web_7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1773\" class=\"wp-image-1773 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp\/~leehs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chess_web_7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"592\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp\/~leehs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chess_web_7.jpg 592w, https:\/\/home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp\/~leehs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chess_web_7-300x176.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1773\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The predicted wave height and arrival time of tsunami if earthquake from Nankai through<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Knowledge to protect our life from tsunami disaster is exhibited at the end of the section.

Aqua town section explains the role of water in daily lives (kitchen, bathroom, laundry, etc.) through miniature of houses, schools, offices, factories, and other buildings.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1776\" style=\"width: 817px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp\/~leehs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chess_web_10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1776\" class=\"wp-image-1776 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp\/~leehs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chess_web_10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"807\" height=\"297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp\/~leehs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chess_web_10.jpg 807w, https:\/\/home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp\/~leehs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chess_web_10-300x110.jpg 300w, https:\/\/home.hiroshima-u.ac.jp\/~leehs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/chess_web_10-768x283.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 807px) 100vw, 807px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1776\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Soil layer from forest (left) and method\/procedure to create tasty water displayed in wall (right).<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tokyo Water Science Museum<\/li>\n<li>3-1-8 Ariake Koto-ku, Tokyo<\/li>\n<li>TEL. 03-3528-2366<\/li>\n<li>URL: http:\/\/www.mizunokagaku.jp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>5.6 Flooding Control Gates<\/h2>\n<p>Osaka is an alluvial plain with low ground height, formed mostly by the flood of Yodo River and Yamato River. These river gradients are relatively moderate and it is nearly the tide zone up to the foot of Ikoma Mountain. Since it is a low ground, it is often suffering damage from flooding, so many flood control projects have been done since ancient times. Major disaster occurred due to the storm surge caused by the 2<sup>nd<\/sup>\u00a0Muroto typhoon in 1964 when the damage was enormous.\u00a0As a permanent storm surge countermeasure project, the emergency three-year plan was decided, construction of tidal facility was carried out and completed in 1964.\u00a0However, in consideration of social, economic situation and ground subsidence, it was necessary to further strengthen the maintenance of tidal facilities. In 1964, the \u201c<em>Osaka Storm Surge Protection Countermeasures Permanent Plan<\/em>\u201d was drawn up, and a tidal floodgate including three large floodgates was built.<\/p>\n<p><em>Table 1.

This port is highly susceptible to the effects of high tide and rising water levels are considered as high waters. Tokyo Port shoreline protection facilities have been developed since 1961, such as outer levees, flood gate, and drainage pumping sites designed to protect land from high tides. During the Great Tohoku Earthquake which occurred on March 11, 2011, the closing of floodgates worked to prevent damage from the tsunami. Floodgates and pump stations have been built in the early 1960s through the middle 1970s. Flood Control Gates in Tokyo bay are divided into several area: Koto district, Morning tide area, Tsukiji district, Konan district, and Shikugawa area. Tokyo Waterfront City.<\/p>\n<p><em>Table 2.
