Volcanic ash, debris and lava flows movement simulation

Volcanic Ash Movement Simulation

Kokusai Kogyo has long contributed to the advancement of measures to prevent volcano-caused disasters in Japan. We run numerical simulations that match the characteristics of each volcano and provide the data necessary for disaster and risk forecasts.

サービスの特徴
  • By assessing the characteristics of each volcano, we make forecasts that address eruption size and mode.
  • We analyze the climatic conditions of the target area to make our forecasts more realistic.
  • We provide our data in a format that helps users easily visualize volcanic phenomena so that it can be utilized as the base data for volcano disaster prevention maps and disaster prevention plans.
  • Volcanic ash fallout likelihood forecast maps can also be created, to be used in damage prediction and risk assessment.

Soil Movement Simulation (Sand and Stone Avalanches, Lava Flows, etc.)

As the saying goes, disasters always strike when you are least expecting them. Ordinary disaster prevention maps alone may not be sufficient to help people visualize the risk of disaster in some cases. Utilizing the spatial information collection technologies and modeling expertise it has nurtured over many years, Kokusai Kogyo runs numerical simulations of soil movements and volcanic eruptions, and provides the results in the form of computer graphics and animations that can be easily understood by the general public.

Service Features
  • In order to accurately portray potential disasters, we run numerical simulations based on past disaster records, on-site surveys utilizing spatial information, and analysis results.
  • We process our data into computer graphics and animations that can be easily understood by the general public and help them visualize disasters.
