Blade dynamics in combined waves and current

Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), such as seagrass, is flexible and reconfigures (bends) in response to waves and current. The blade motion and reconfiguration modify the hydrodynamic drag. The modified drag can be described by an effective blade length, l e , which is defined as the length of a r...
