Abstract

Japan is the eminent volcanic country in the world, and Suwanose-jima in Kagoshima and Mt. Asama in Gunma are puffing out smoke vigorously at present. In the past, the large-scale eruptions occurred in Sakura-jima and Unzen-Fugendake, and 10 percent of the energy in the earthquake and the volcano eruption of the whole earth is released in Japan. Therefore the prediction for the flow area of lava is very important. Then, we try to develop the simulation system which predicts the flow area of lava and the people want to use it at their homes. Because of this, our system must be able to use on a PC becoming popular in the present time. Our simulation technique can reduce the computing time using the simple way without considering the viscosity dynamics and so on. Also this system can show the simulation result with the three dimensional image and the animation using OpenGL. The user can view the area of the lava flow from the various angles, and we think that this is useful for the improvement of their conscience for the disaster prevention.
