Physical modelling of reflection on gentle coasts: Comparing methods to analyse long waves and optimising the lay-out for a wave absorber to minimise reflection in a wave flume

Studying mangroves in the field can be very difficult; therefore it is in some situations better to model in a flume. The question is, to what extend are the situation in the field and the situation in the flume comparable with each other? This study focusses on reflection in the wave flume. Wave energy in a flume can be damped by placing a wave...
