Abstract. Non-Orthogonal curvilinear coordinate ocean hydrodynamics model<br />

(Muin, 1997) was applied to simulate tsunami wave in Mentawai, in which occurred<br />

in 25 October 2010, 21:42:22 (GMT +7). The model was integrated in Geographic<br />

Information System, named as MuTsunami. The time step of the model was not<br />

limited by gravity wave speed. The results of simulation were compared with<br />

observational data. The field data was collected by group of researcher from Institut<br />

Teknologi Bandung, Waseda University, and Yokohama National University<br />

(Hendra, 2010). The studies present the results of simulation using various fault<br />

models. It was found that the agreement between the model and observations are<br />

very good for selected fault model<br />
