海岸红树林与海啸波相互作用的实验研究

he Indian Ocean tsunami on 26 December 2004 resulted in a great loss in 13 Asian and African countries. This damage emphasizes the importance of developing methodologies to minimize the impact of future tsunamis and other related natural disasters in order to protect people, the environment, and the infrastructure. For more appropriate management to reduce natural disaster and to keep good environment, it is required that a new countermeasure method corresponding to each coastal area including the combination of artificial and natural functions. One of new ways is to utilize mangrove forest along coast. And most reports emphasize the protective function of coastal mangrove with actual observations after the 2004 tsunami catastrophe. In this study, variation of transmitted and reflected wave is examined when tsunami passed through the mangrove.
