Wave-induced velocities inside a model seagrass bed

Wave-induced velocities inside a model seagrass bed

Laboratory measurements reveal the flow structure within and above a model seagrass meadow (dynamically similar to Zostera marina) forced by progressive waves. Despite being driven by purely oscillatory flow, a mean current in the direction of wave propagation is generated within the meadow. This me...
