Laboratory experiments and numerical modeling of wave attenuation through artificial vegetation

It is commonly known that coastal vegetation dissipates energy and aids in shoreline protection by damping incoming waves and depositing sediment in vegetated regions. However, this critical role of vegetation to dampen wave forces is not fully understood at present. A series of laboratory experimen...
