Contents
- We used 3D-printed mangrove models, 1:7 replicas of a typical mature Rhizophora apiculata, in laboratory experiments
- Empirical formulas for drag and inertia coefficients were proposed based on the direct measurements of wave forces and fluid velocity
- The change in force coefficients, fluid velocity and turbulent kinetic energy with varying water depths shows the impact of mangrove roots
