Coastal vegetation has been widely recognized as a natural method to reduce the energy of
tsunami waves. However, a vegetation barrier cannot completely stop a tsunami, and its …

This review paper provides a comprehensive analysis of utilizing coastal vegetation as a
mitigation strategy against tsunamis. It begins with an introduction to the historical impact of …

Damage to embankments and forests along the coast of the northeast Japan by the 2011
Great East Japan tsunami was observed at twenty-five locations covering a length of about …

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of an open gap, such as a road, in a
coastal forest on tsunami run-up. A numerical model based on two-dimensional nonlinear …

Coastal vegetation acts as a natural barrier against extreme natural and anthropogenic
activities, protecting infrastructure and human lives. Establishment of hard infrastructure for …

ABSTRACT Since the 2011 Great East Japan tsunami, many improvements have been
made in both hard and soft solutions for tsunami mitigation. After the 2011 Great East Japan …

This study predicts how the Free Surface Level (FSL) variations around finite length
vegetation affect flow structure by using a numerical simulation. The volume of fluid (VOF) …

Summary The Bay of Bengal and the Gulf of Mexico are the two water bodies on the globe
that are most prone to storm surges generated by tropical cyclones. In this chapter, a review …

Sea dikes are nowadays adopted for the protection of onshore infrastructures against
devastating tsunami wave. For intermittent/discontinuous sea dikes, the flow fields are 3D in …

Inland tsunami flows can be greatly affected by the presence of coastal buildings. The
present study experimentally and numerically investigated the effects of nine different …
