Wave transmission and dissipation coefficients of a modified artifical mangrove root system

A modified Artificial Mangrove Root System (ArMS) has been proposed to improve the earlier model presented by Eldina (2007). The system may act as an alternative protection structure during the replanting of the young mangrove seedlings while enhancing to protect the marine life and shoreline. ArMS...

Wave transmission and dissipation coefficients of a modified artifical mangrove root system
description A modified Artificial Mangrove Root System (ArMS) has been proposed to improve the earlier model presented by Eldina (2007). The system may act as an alternative protection structure during the replanting of the young mangrove seedlings while enhancing to protect the marine life and shoreline. ArMS is designed to be porous enough so that it facilitates the exchange of water around it and allows sedimentation. Technically, ArMS acts as a partially or fully submerged breakwater which dissipates the incoming wave energy by the process of breaking, friction and transmission. Laboratory studies with a series of regular waves were conducted for 1row, 2-row, 3-row, 4-row, and 5-row ArMS to determine the hydraulic performance in terms of its efficiency in reducing the incident wave and local velocities in various geometry and wave conditions. Wave attenuation coefficient was investigated by determining the transmission, reflection, and energy loss coefficients. The parameters that affect the wave attenuation are wave length, wave height, water depth, water velocity, and wave period.
