Abstract
Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method for simulating a submarine landslide. The apparatus includes an inclined flume; a plurality of sedimentary layers which are stacked on top of one another in the flume and tapped; water which is charged into the flume on the sedimentary layers in such a way that the surface of the water is formed in the flume; and a plurality of injectors which are provided in a bottom of the flume so as to be movable upwards or downwards with respect to the flume and inject gas or water into the sedimentary layer. The sedimentary layers are changed in pressure and temperature by the gas or water injected from the injectors into the sedimentary layers so that an artificial slope collapse is caused, whereby a water wave is generated in the flume.
