The nearshore wave action at many barrier reefs or reef atolls can generate wave setup and
drive a 2DH reef-lagoon-channel circulation. Previous laboratory studies on such reef …

Spatial variations of infragravity waves on fringing reefs are studied using a fully nonlinear
Boussinesq equation model FUNWAVE-TVD. The effects of bottom roughness, forereef …

Many low-lying atolls fronted by coral reefs are vulnerable to wave-driven coastal flooding
during extreme wave events. Previous laboratory studies on this issue focus mainly on the …

The main objective of this paper was to examine the influence of forereef bottom slope and
the effects of coral degradation on the transformation of wave shapes over a fringing reef flat …

Low-frequency waves with infragravity and very-low-frequency bands have been found to
induce coastal flooding and erosion on low-lying reef islands under storm conditions. The …

This study investigates infragravity motions on a two-dimensional fringing reef with a
concave topography using a wave-resolving nonlinear Boussinesq wave model. The effect …

The dredging of reef-flat sand for engineering construction is a common activity on some
Asia-Pacific reef islands, which attract increasing concerns in the community of coastal …

In this study, hydrodynamic analysis of an oscillating water column (OWC) array in the
presence of the variable bathymetry (seafloor depth) is performed by using a semi-analytical …

The prediction of wave transformation and associated hydrodynamics is essential in the
design and construction of reef top structures on fringing reefs. To simulate the …

The reef-lagoon-channel system is very typical on the low-lying reef-lined coasts in tropical
and subtropical areas. Comparing to the well-studied one-dimensional horizontal (1DH) …
