INVESTIGATION ON THE INFLUENCE OF SEAGRASS BED ON FRICTIONAL EFFECT IN COASTAL AREA

Seagrass plays an important role in affecting the flow regime in the coastal area. However, the mechanism relating the seagrass characteristic and its influence on the hydrodynamics of current is still poorly understood. There is numerous study on relation between seagrass and its influence on the h...
