This study assessed the relevance of numerical modeling with respect to the mechanical properties of specific rock and investigated the applicability of submarine landslide simulation using discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA). To predict the dynamic behavior of submarine landslides, we developed a way to model a jointed rock mass for the evaluation of rock slope instability and an original DDA approach using an energy loss model that incorporates energy loss caused by collision between blocks and seawater resistance as a viscous force. We applied the developed model to estimate the dynamic behavior of actual submarine landslides. The simulations assessed seawater resistance and energy loss due to collision between blocks, reproducing past events and suggesting the behavior of vulnerable slopes. The results demonstrate that the model can clarify the energy loss caused by slope absorbability and seawater resistance, and that the improved DDA is very useful for submarine land analysis.
