Abstract:Coastal forest protects the shoreline from erosion and extreme events by attenuating wave and velocity by obstructing the flow of water through the forest. Lack of understanding on tree drag coefficients vary with tree morphology density and arrangement is a major source of uncertainty that close related to the shoreline belt span. This study evaluates the behavior of velocity flow through the mangrove aerial root system. The analysis process starts with the drag value analysis of stilt roots model and continu… Show more
