Abstract: During tsunami disaster, fire occurs because of outflow of fuel due to damage and drifting of fuel tank. Convolt Tank is the fuel tank which unified oil wall and storage tanks-proof. It is required to examine the stability of Convolt tank by using physical experiment and numerical experiment, and the safety of fuel tank against tsunami can be evaluated. We have generated three solitary waves and examined wave pressure based on the result in physical experiment. As a result in physical experiment, tank slid in most cases. CADMAS-STR/3D (Arikawa et al, 2011) was used as the numerical simulators. This simulator is formed from fluid analysis and structure analysis. By using this coupling method, sliding phenomena was able to be reproduced, and pressure effect on sliding tank can be evaluated
