Effect of Artificial Sea Grass on Wave Attenuation- An Experimental Investiga…

An experimental study to validate the exponential attenuation of wave height is presented. Coastal vegetation can often attenuate the wave height as well as the wave energy and are, therefore, of interest. The tests were carried out with submerged artificial sea grass vegetation meadow of 2 m length in a wave flume 50 m long, 0.74 m wide and 1.1 m deep. The model plants were prepared from 0.00…
