Abstract: Coastal wetlands act as natural buffers against wave energy and storm surges. In the course of energy dissipation, vegetation stems are exposed to wave action, which may lead to stem breakage. An integral component of wave ...

Abstract: This paper presents a coupled wave–vegetation model for simulating the interaction between water waves and submerged flexible plants. The balance of forces for the vegetation motion includes buoyancy, damping, stiffness ...

Abstract: Wave attenuation in vegetated shallow water is mainly attributed to actual drag-induced dissipation and near-resonant triad interactions. The latter is neglected in existing theoretical models for vegetation-induced ...

Abstract: This study investigates the performances of theoretical wave attenuation models in predicting vegetation-induced wave decay. The existing theoretical models are all based on linear wave theory, which cannot describe nonlinear ...

Abstract: The phase-averaged depth-integrated vegetal drag force (Fv) directly impacts the mean water level (MWL) change in vegetation. Evaluated from linear wave theory, Fv integrated along the submerged part of vegetation becomes ...

Abstract: Using steel slag in architectural three-dimensional (3D) printing not only enhances its utilization efficiency but also significantly reduces cement consumption, thereby mitigating carbon emissions. This study evaluated ...

Abstract: Atlantic multidecadal variability (AMV) is a cornerstone for decadal prediction and profoundly influences regional and global climate variability, yet its fundamental drivers remain an issue for debate. Studies suggest ...
