Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Posidonia oceanica, the most abundant seagrass species in the Mediterranean, supports a highly bio-diverse habitat and is crucial in protecting against coastal erosion. In this work, experiments in a large-scale facility have been performed, for the measurement of wave attenuation, transmission and energy dissipation over artificial Posidonia oceanica. The effects of submergence ratio corresponding to the seagrass height divided by water depth, and seagrass density as the number of stems per square metre on the above characteristics are investigated. Measurements of wave height at different locations along the vegetation meadow indicate the wave attenuation along the Posidonia oceanica for three different submergence ratios and two seagrass densities. Results are also analysed with regard to the wave-induced flow within the meadow, and the effects of the submergence ratio and the seagrass density on the mean flow characteristics, based on data of mean velocities taken at three locations within the seagrass. |
