🌊 Mangrove Storm Waves: Forest Width, Stem Drag and Village Protection Along a Wave Transect Lab
Regular storm waves cross a shallow shelf, a mangrove belt and reach a dike and village in a 3-D Blender-built coast. Dalrymple/Mendez-Losada stem-drag dissipation, shoaling and depth-limited breaking give wave height along the transect, energy removed and dike overtopping, checked against the exact 1/(1+beta H0 x) solution.
