In addition, generated N-Wave was verified by using verification of related analytical equations. Furthermore, the wave flume was narrowed by narrowing angles of 5 ° , 10 ° and 15 ° for analogy to morphology changes in coastal areas. It was determined that water level differences and phase shifts occurred to the narrowing effects.Keywords : N-Wave, Leading Depression N-wave, Solitary Wave, Tsunami
