Abstract: The present paper describes the simulation of behavior of mooring vessels in tsunami using the 3-D MPS (Moving Particle Semi-implicit) Method for considering leading wave and backwash effect. The chain of a disaster is brought about by two kinds of tsunami. The chain of disaster means breaking the mooring tether, grounding on a wharf, drift to continental areas, the collision with building by leading wave and the outflow of the floating matter by backwash. In this research, the 3D-MPS method is applied, and the bore like wave is applied as an assumed tsunami. Moreover, expression of the backwash by water pillar collapse is tried. In addition, the vehicle is arranged on a wharf, and the chain of disaster is simulated.
