Numerical simulations of sediment transport induced by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami near Kirinda port in southeastern Sri Lanka is carried out and the relationships between the tsunami-induced flow and sediment transport are discussed. The results show two clear relationships. The first one is that the local scour occurs and a large amount of suspended sediment is generated around the head of breakwaters when the tsunami-induced flow passes through there. The second one is that the suspended sediment is deposited near vortex centers due to a secondary flow.
