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 />
