Coastal Defences on Low-Lying Reef Flats: A Laboratory Study of Seawall Shape and Position

The present study reports on a series of laboratory experiments aiming to understand and to optimize the deployment of seawall defences over low-lying coral reef flats. The study is performed in a purely cross-shore configuration, with varying wave forcing, water depth, and seawall shapes and positi...
