A new wave-vegetation model is implemented in an open-source code, SWASH (Simulating
WAves till SHore). The governing equations are the nonlinear shallow water equations …

As the frequency and intensity of storms increase, a growing need exists for resilient shore
protection techniques that have both environmental and economic benefits. In addition to …

Analytical methods are developed to investigate the interaction of water with multiple
cylinders with arbitrary smooth cross-sections subjected to horizontal ground motion and …

Wave runup is known to depend on offshore wave conditions and coastal morphology.
While most field studies on wave runup have focused on low‐to‐mild‐sloping sandy …

Analyzing the attenuation of extreme waves by coastal emergent vegetation provides crucial
information on revetment planning. In this study, three kinds of laboratory experiments of …

This paper reports a combined observational and numerical study of wave transformation
over barrier reefs. The field instrumentation, which consists in a cross-shore network of …

The topographical complexity of coral reefs is of primary importance for a number of
hydrodynamical and ecological processes. The present study is based on a series of high …

Wooden fences are applied as a nature-based solution to support mangrove restoration
along mangrove coasts in general and the Mekong Delta coast in particular. The simple …

This article presents a simple geometrical approach to visualize the hydrodynamic
properties of wave energy converters (WECs), in terms of wave reflection, transmission, and …

Coastal plants can significantly dissipate water wave energy and services as a part of
shoreline protection. Using plants as a natural buffer from wave impacts remains an …
