Tnrough a comparison with experimental data for the cases of dam break and solitary wave propagation, verification of the three-dimensional numerical model is given. Numerical experiment is performed for the analysis of the nonlinear behavior of flow around obstacles and compared with experimental data. The velocity and pressure around obstacles are presented with sufficient accuracy for tstmami propagation passing through an obstacle.展开更多

The total disaster recovery and reconstruction period is expected to last for 10 years, of which the first five years are regarded as the concentrated reconstruction period. As of 2013, a majority of the mega projects that involved restoration actions have been completed, which indicates a more effective rate of completion compared with the MLIT projects performed in normal non-disaster situations. This short article explains the management process of the recovery and reconstruction utilized by the TRB—an interorganizational process—from a business process management(BPM) perspective and creates a simple organization construction diagram of the entire process. The study focused on the transactions and actor roles to identify their strengths. The findings indicate the utilization of different operational procedures in some parts of the process, the importance of liaison role, as well as some obstacles. The lessons learned from this analysis can assist managers and researchers in designing and managing restoration processes for future disasters.展开更多
