TLDR
In this paper, a set of experimental conditions were considered in a laboratory flume: three vegetation models (submerged rigid, submerged flexible and emergent rigid), three plant densities (128, 640 and 1280stems) and three wave frequencies ( f ǫ = 0.8, 1 and 1.4 ǔ).About:

The role of seagrasses in coastal protection in a changing climate
Bárbara Ondiviela,Inigo J. Losada,Javier L. Lara,Maria Maza,Cristina Galván,Tjeerd J. Bouma,Jim van Belzen +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the contribution of seagrasses to coastal protection through a review of the most relevant existing knowledge and concluded that the optimal conditions for enhancing the protection supplied might be achieved in shallow waters and low wave energy environments, with high interaction surface, at the vertical and horizontal dimension, between water flow and seagrase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laboratory study on wave dissipation by vegetation in combined current–wave flow
TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the effect of following currents on vegetation-induced wave attenuation and found that following currents can either increase or decrease wave dissipation depending on the velocity ratio, which explains the seeming inconsistency in previous studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nature-based flood protection: The efficiency of vegetated foreshores for reducing wave loads on coastal dikes
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of vegetation on wave damping under severe storm conditions, based on a combination of field measurements and numerical modelling, is analyzed and validated using the new field data.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new model for predicting the drag exerted by vegetation canopies
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of vegetation canopies on the flow structure in streams, rivers, and floodplains is heavily dependent on the cumulative drag forces exerted by the vegetation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental study on vegetation flexibility as control parameter for wave damping and velocity structure
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured wave attenuation and water particle velocities around rigid and flexible salt marsh vegetation and found that flexible vegetation attenuates waves up to 70% less than rigid vegetation due to swaying of flexible plants.

Drag, turbulence, and diffusion in flow through emergent vegetation
TL;DR: In this article, a model is developed to describe the drag, turbulence and diffusion for flow through emergent vegetation, which for the first time captures the relevant underlying physics, and covers the natural range of vegetation density and stem Reynolds' numbers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mass transport in water waves
TL;DR: In this article, a general theory of mass transport is developed, which takes account of the viscosity, and leads to results in agreement with observation, and is shown that the nature of the motion in the interior depends upon the ratio of the wave amplitude a to the thickness δ of the boundary layer.

Organization of the New England Rocky Intertidal Community: Role of Predation, Competition, and Environmental Heterogeneity
TL;DR: The influences of predation, competition, biological disturbance, exposure to wave action, and inclination and heterogeneity of the substratum on the structure of the rocky intertidal community of New England were studied with a combination of experiments and observations at six areas in Maine and Massachusetts from 1972—1975.
Book ChapterDOI
On the Theory of Oscillatory Waves
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the velocity of propagation of a series of oscillatory waves does not depend on the height of the waves, and that the extreme waves of such a series partake in some measure of the character of solitary waves and their height decreases as they proceed.
