The modified mild-slope equation that accounts for wave dissipation in mangrove, as recorded in Vo-Luong and Massel (2008) is used here. In that formulation dissipation effect are accounted from two dominant mechanism: wave breaking and wave interaction with mangrove. Finite difference method is implemented to approximate the mild-slope equation and Sonneratia sp. mangrove parameters are used to calculate the wave amplitude in mangrove area. The results, demonstrate wave energy reduction in mangrove in terms of wave heights and wave spectrum. Moreover, analysis of reflection and transmission coefficients indicate that most of the wave energy is dissipated by the mangrove. The changing water depth has a more significant effect on wave attenuation in the low density forests than of high density forests. However, the effect of water depths is smaller compared to the effect of wave interaction with mangrove.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Depth variations,Mathematical models,Wave energy reduction,Wave-mangrove interactions[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.12988/ams.2014.46462[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
