Dynamics of water waves over fringing coral reefs

This thesis reported a comprehensive study of the wave dynamics over fringing coral reefs, including laboratory experiments, numerical modeling and theoretical analyses. Two main sets of experiments were performed in a wave flume to measure the breaking-wave characteristics over an idealized fringin...
