Reis, Rui A. (author), Fortes, Conceição J.E.M. (author), Rodrigues, José A. (author), Hu, Zhan (author), Suzuki, T. (author)Laboratory experiments of wave propagation over rigid and flexible vegetation fields, with the same configurations, were conducted to understand the effect of vegetation flexibility on the drag coefficient (C<sub>D</sub>). The direct method and the least squares method (LSM), based on force and flow measurements, are applied to calculate the...journal article 2024

Zhang, R. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Lei, Jiaxin (author), Zhou, Xin (author), Yao, P. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)Mangroves can function as a ‘bio-shield’ to protect coastal communities from harsh environments because of their strong ability to attenuate wave energy. However, as mangroves are usually oversimplified as rigid cylinders in antecedent studies, the effects of complex mangrove morphology on wave attenuation have not been well researched....journal article 2023

El Hasadi, Yousef M.F. (author), Padding, J.T. (author)At the beginning of the second half of the twentieth century, Proudman and Pearson (J. Fluid. Mech.,2(3), 1956, pp.237–262) suggested that the functional form of the drag coefficient (C<sub>D</sub>) of a single sphere subjected to uniform fluid flow consists of a series of logarithmic and power terms of the Reynolds number (Re). In this paper...journal article 2023

(author)Mangrove vegetation constitutes a natural coastal defence against waves and erosion. Despite their protective role, mangrove ecosystems have experienced continuous degradation over the last decades due to human causes. At retreating mangrove coastlines, bamboo structures are built to create new habitat for mangrove colonization. Existing...journal article 2021

Jansen, L. (author), Korswagen, Paul A. (author), Bricker, J.D. (author), Pasterkamp, S. (author), de Bruijn, K.M. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)Failure of residential buildings during floods is an important cause of damage and loss of life. In the case of the Netherlands, the collapse of buildings is implicitly included in current damage and mortality curves since these are generated from historical data. However, the Netherlands has not experienced destructive flooding since 1953, so...journal article 2020

Baron-Hyppolite, C.G. (author), Lashley, Christopher H. (author), Garzon, Juan (author), Miesse, Tyler (author), Bricker, J.D. (author)Assessing the accuracy of nearshore numerical models—such as SWAN—is important to ensure their effectiveness in representing physical processes and predicting flood hazards. In particular, for application to coastal wetlands, it is important that the model accurately represents wave attenuation by vegetation. In SWAN, vegetation might be...journal article 2018

Chen, Hui (author), Ni, Yan (author), Li, Yulong (author), Liu, Feng (author), Ou, Suying (author), Su, Min (author), Peng, Yisheng (author), Hu, Zhan (author), Uijttewaal, W.S.J. (author), Suzuki, T. (author)Coastal vegetation is efficient in damping incident waves even in storm events, thus providing valuable protections to coastal communities. However, large uncertainties lie in determining vegetation drag coefficients (C<sub>D</sub>), which are directly related to the wave damping capacity of a certain vegetated area. One major uncertainty is...journal article 2018
