The ground-state energies and radii for 4He, 16O, and 40Ca are calculated with the unitary-model-operator approach (UMOA). In the present study, we employ similarity renormalization group (SRG) evolved nucleon-nucleon (NN) and three-nucleon (3N) interactions based on chiral effective field theory. This is the first UMOA calculation with both NN and 3N interactions. The calculated ground-state energies and radii are consistent with the recent ab initio results with the same interaction. Here, we evaluate the expectation values of two- and three-body SRG evolved radius operators, in addition to those of the bare radius operator. With the aid of the higher-body evolution of the radius operator, it is seen that the calculated radii tend to be SRG resolution-scale independent. We find that the SRG evolution gives minor modifications for the radius operator.
