Third-year undergraduate students from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering participated in hands-on research activities in our laboratory. They worked hard over an extended period, spending one month on discussions and research planning, followed by another month conducting simulations and research.
The students conducted simulations on two topics: “Collisions with Floating Debris During a Mud-Laden Tsunami” and “Effectiveness of Using Plastic Bottles as Improvised Life Jackets During a Tsunami.”
Great work, everyone!
Collisions with Floating Debris During a Mud-Laden Tsunami
- Case of a 2 m Tsunami Wave Height (Water Content: 600%)
・Case of a 50 cm Tsunami Wave Height (Water Content: 600%)
Effectiveness of Using Plastic Bottles as Improvised Life Jackets During a Tsunami
- Case of Using Four 2-Liter Plastic Bottles as an Improvised Life Jacket (Tsunami Wave Height: 10 m)
・Without Plastic Bottles
