Abstract: Wave damping by wave‐soil interactions is examined quantitatively. The dispersion relation is obtained explicitly. It is found that the Coulomb friction between soil grains is by far the most important wave damping mechanism ...

Abstract: A Froude‐Mach similitude law for sea‐seabed interaction phenomena is established from the nonlinear Coulomb‐damped poro‐elastic theory recently developed. Generally, the similitude law requires that the three Mach numbers ...
