An Experimental Study of Solitary Waves through Layered Coastal Vegetation

摘要

In this paper the effects of layered coastal vegetation on long wavern(solitary wave) propagation were investigated experimentally in a longrnwave flume. This layering vegetation is represented by an open gap in arnpatch of vegetation that lies perpendicular to the flow direction.rnSolitary waves with different heights were used to simulate the leadingrntsunami waves. Results on the wave transmission, reflected waves, andrnwaves within the gap in a patch of vegetation are discussed.
