Effect of Mimic Vegetation with Different Stiffness on Regular Wave Propagation and Turbulence

Flume experiments were performed to test four plant mimics with different stiffness to reveal the effect of plant stiffness on the wave dissipation and turbulence process. The mimics were built of silica gel rod groups, and their bending elastic modulus was measured as a proxy for stiffness. The reg...
