Efficient three-dimensional reconstruction of aquatic vegetation geometry: Estimating morphological parameters influencing hydrodynamic drag
(Elsevier, 2016)Aquatic vegetation can shelter coastlines from energetic waves and tidal currents, sometimes enabling accretion of fine sediments. Simulation of flow and sediment transport within submerged canopies requires quantification ... -
A question of scale: How turbulence around aerial roots shapes the seabed morphology in mangrove forests of the Mekong Delta
(The Oceanography Society, 2017)Mangrove forests are highly productive ecosystems that provide many physical, societal, and ecological services in tropical and subtropical regions. Accurate prediction of the morphological evolution for these areas, in ... -
Small-scale turbulence and its influence on forest-scale morphodynamics within a coastal mangrove forest
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Mangroves are coastal wetland ecosystems consisting of salt-tolerant trees and shrubs that inhabit the upper intertidal zone of estuaries, river banks and barrier islands. These trees grow in the intersection between the ... -
Spatially varying drag within a wave-exposed mangrove forest and on the adjacent tidal flat
(Elsevier, 2017)Mangroves have been shown to protect shorelines against damage from the combined hydrodynamic forces of waves and tides, owing to the presence of roots (pneumatophores) and tree trunks that enhance vegetative drag. However, ... -
Wave-frequency flows within a near-bed vegetation canopy
(Elsevier Ltd., 2017)We study water flows and wave dissipation within near-bed pneumatophore canopies at the wave-exposed fringe of a mangrove forest on Cù Lao Dung Island, in the Mekong Delta. To evaluate canopy drag, the three-dimensional ...
