In this paper, we investigate the wave attenuation by mangroves using modified 2D
Nonlinear Shallow Water Equations. Numerically, we solve the model using a staggered
finite volume method that is free from damping error. Further, several benchmark tests
are performed to show the robustness of our numerical model. Then, we implement
our numerical model to investigate the effects of mangroves in the wave attenuation
caused by tsunamis in Manila Bay. The bathymetry profile of Manila Bay used in
this study is obtained from the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO).
Numerical results show that the presence of mangroves can reduce ocean waves near
the coast. Simulations on varying density and width of mangrove forest quantify how
much the tsunami wave height can be reduced. The results of this work may guide the
policymakers of the Philippines in deciding the best strategy in rehabilitating Manila
Bay.

1. Introduction
Manila Bay is a body of water situated on the west part of Luzon and is bounded by four provinces and Metro Manila.
Because of its strategic location, Manila Bay has been the seat of socio-economic development since pre-Hispanic times.
It also has abundant natural resources, which have been a source of livelihood for residents living in the coastal areas
surrounding the bay [1].
Due to rapid urbanization, Manila Bay faces several threats: marine pollution [2,3], eutrophication and hypoxia [4,5],
overexploitation of fishery resources [6], invasive species [7], and erosion [1].
Manila Bay is also prone to tsunamis [8]. Tsunamis are oceanographic phenomena that represent a water wave or
series of waves caused by an impulsive vertical displacement of the body of water [9]. Tsunami scenarios in Manila Bay
can potentially originate from a giant rupture along the Manila trench [10] or eruption of the Corregidor caldera located
in the mouth of the bay [11].
The destruction caused by tsunamis can be massive [12]. Thus, mitigation strategies are studied [13,14]. One strategy
is by utilizing coastal mangrove forests. It was shown in [15] how coastal mangrove vegetations mitigated the 2004 Asian
tsunami in 18 coastal hamlets along the southeast coast of India. Furthermore, the existing coastal vegetation in front of

settlements on the west coast of Aceh, Indonesia significantly reduced casualties caused by the 2004 Asian tsunami by an
average of 5% [16]. It was studied in [1720] how mangrove forests can reduce wave height. Energy reduction for waves
propagating in mangroves on varying slopes has been shown in [21]. Wave attenuation in coastal mangrove forests in
Vietnam was studied in [22].
In this study, we investigate through numerical simulations, the tsunami wave attenuation in mangroves in Manila
Bay. We use a 2D nonlinear Shallow Water Equations (SWE) to model the tsunami wave propagation. SWE models are
popular in simulating tsunami propagation because of their efficient computation capability without sacrificing too much
accuracy [23]. SWE models have been used in several tsunami studies [2430]. To solve the 2D nonlinear SWE, we use the
finite volume method (FVM), which is a discretization scheme for the numerical simulations of various types of partial
differential equations [31]. FVM has been extensively used in several applications [29,3133]. In our model, we use FVM
in a staggered grid, with a momentum conservative scheme, as discussed in [3440].
In the next section, we present the mathematical model that we use in this work. Then, the numerical method to solve
the model is discussed. Furthermore, we perform some benchmark tests and investigate the effects of adding mangroves
in Manila Bay in reducing the tsunami wave heights. Finally, we give concluding remarks and recommendations.
2. Mathematical model
In this section, we derive the mathematical model to investigate the propagation of waves passing through a mangrove
forest. For this purpose, the observation domain will be divided into three domains 1,2, and 3. Domain 2is for
the porous domain and 1,3are the free domain. Here we use 2D-Shallow Water Equations that have also been used
in [34,41]. The 2D-SWEs consist of three hyperbolic equations, mass conservation, and momentum balance in the x- and
y-directions:
ηt+(hu)x+(hv)y=0,(1)
ut+uux+vuy+gηx=0,(2)
vt+uvx+vvy+gηy=0.(3)
Here, hdenotes the total water depth and gis the acceleration due to gravity. The variables dand ηrefer to the water
depth at still condition and the free surface elevation, respectively (see Fig. 1). Thus, we have h=d+η. The wave velocity
along the x-direction is denoted by uand the wave velocity along the y-direction is denoted by vas shown in Fig. 1.
As the incoming wave enters the porous domain 2, the wave interacts with the vegetation which causes friction. We
modify the model by adding a friction factor into the momentum equations. Thus, Eqs. (2) and (3) become
ut+uux+vuy+gηx+cf
uu2+v2
h=0,(4)
vt+uvx+vvy+gηy+cfvu2+v2
h=0,(5)

with a piecewise constant friction functions of cfdescribed as
cf=0,x1,3,
f,x2.(6)
Hence, the governing equations for the whole domain are given by Eqs. (1),(4),(5), and (6).
3. Numerical method
We now solve the governing Eqs. (1),(4)(6) numerically using the finite volume method on a staggered grid method.
First, we consider the 2D shallow water equations with the observation domain := [0,Lx]×[0,Ly]and the time interval
t:= [0,T]. The spatial domain is divided into a rectangular grid of Nx×Nyand the time interval tis divided into Nttime
steps. In this staggered arrangement, the surface elevation ηand water depth hare evaluated in the mass conservation
equations cell on the full grid xi,j,i=1,2,...,Nxand j=1,2,...,Ny. In contrast, the velocity in the x-direction uand
the velocity and y-direction vare evaluated on the half grid xi1
2,jand xi,j1
2, as shown in Fig. 2. This arrangement gives
us advantage in terms of the imposing boundary condition. If we use collocated grid, then we need to give a coupled
boundaries to fulfill the well-posedness of our problem. However, using a staggered approach, we only need to define the
incoming wave velocity from the left and moving boundary on the right.

Notice that in both momentum equations, ηis approximated implicitly by the term ηn+1
i,j. This was applied to guarantee
the stability of the scheme as mentioned in [41]. The semi-implicit method was used to approximate the friction terms
in both equations to avoid changes in the stability condition of the scheme. Moreover, to simulate the wave propagation
over a dry bed, we add wet-dry procedure into our numerical scheme. We calculate the velocity when the water depth is
positive. This procedure is also included in the friction terms that can handle dry area correctly. Applying this procedure,
we can simulate the tsunami propagates on land accurately. In the next section, we implement the numerical scheme
based on Eqs. (7)(11) to simulate several cases of wave propagation including wave that propagates over a dry area such
as island or shoreline.
3.1. Error and rate of convergence
We use a one-dimensional standing wave simulation to elaborate the convergence of the numerical scheme. This
simulation is produced on a domain of length L=25 m and constant depth d=4 m, initial condition of η(x,0)=
cos π
Lx, and boundary conditions of u(0,t)=u(L,t)=0. The analytical solution to this simulation is identical to that
of vibrating string of infinite length: η(x,t)=cos (ωt)cos (kx), where in this case we have ω=kgd,k=π
L.
The error of the numerical simulation is calculated as Ex(tn)=maxi=0,...,Nxη(xi,tn)ηn
i, and Et(xi)=
maxn=0,...,Ntη(xi,tn)ηn
iwhere ηn
iis the numerical solution at point (xi,tn). Then the rate of convergence is ap-
proximated as logE1

log1
2. As seen in Table 1, the rate of convergence of this numerical scheme is 1 in both xand
t.

4. Simulations and discussion
In this section, the staggered scheme of 2D wave simulation is validated by conducting several benchmark test
simulations. First, we simulate wave propagation over a conical island. Second, we validate our numerical scheme for
the tsunami in Monai Valley Island in Japan. We show that successfully simulating these test cases means our numerical
scheme can handle nonlinear phenomena that involve wet-dry areas very well. After that, we implement our numerical
scheme for simulating the wave interaction with a mangrove forest in Manila Bay.
4.1. Solitary wave runup on a conical island
In this subsection, we run a numerical simulation to see the interaction of a solitary wave around a conical island.
This simulation is motivated by the 1992 Flores Island tsunami. Here, we compare the numerical surface waves with
the experimental data that was obtained from the laboratory experiment at the Coastal Engineering Research Center,
Vicksburg, Mississippi. The basin has 30-m-wide, 25-m-long, and 60-cm-deep dimensions with a conical island in the
center. The slope of the island is 1:4 and the water depth is 0.32 m. Details of the experiment can be found in [42].
For the numerical simulations, the water depth is set to be
d(x,y)=max (hc,min (hb,a+rb)) ,
where
hc= 0,305,hb=0,32,rb=3,6,rc=1,1,a=hbhc
rbrc
and
r=(x12,96)2+(y13,8)2,
for any x,yin the observation domain. The numerical simulations were performed using x=0.1,y=0.5, and
t=x
42gH . The initial conditions are given by u(x,y,0)=v(x,y,0)=η(x,y,0)=0. The boundary conditions
are u(Lx,y,t)=v(x,0,t)=vx,Ly,t=0 (where Lx,Lyare the x,yboundaries) and u(0,y,t)is generated by the
wavemaker as seen in Fig. 4. Because mangroves are not present in this simulation and bed friction is neglected then the
value of cfin Eq. (6) is set to 0. The solitary wave has an amplitude 0.015 m coming from the left boundary propagates
to the right, then we record the surface elevations at four locations denoted by WG6, WG9, WG16, and WG22, as shown
in Fig. 3 and listed in Table 2. Three wave gauges WG9, WG16, WG22 are located at the initial shoreline surrounding
the island, whereas WG6 is located near the front face of the island. Fig. 5 shows the propagation and evolution of the
soliton. When the soliton reaches the island, the waves diffract and move around the conical island, then the waves move
forward leaving the island. From Fig. 6, our numerical simulations replicate the experimental data from the four gauges
well. The numerical waves profile has a similar trend with experimental data as well as the reflections. The computed
errors in all the gauges are also small as shown in Fig. 6.

4.2. Wave runup onto a complex beach (Monai Valley)
This simulation is reproducing the 1993 Hokkaido–Nansei–Oki (HNO) tsunami. The tsunami that struck Okushiri Island,
Japan, reached an extreme height of 30 m in a small valley near the Monai village. The experiment was conducted using
a laboratory model scaled as 1:400 of the actual bathymetry of Monai Valley in Central Research Institute for Electric
Power Industry (CRIEPI), Abiko, Japan. This simulation is a well-known benchmark test for numerical models to investigate
tsunami phenomena, and all data are provided openly available at [43].
To validate our numerical model, we run a numerical simulation performed on a 5.4880 m ×3.4020 m computational
domain with spatial partition x=y=0.014 and time increment t=1.72 ×104. The initial conditions are given
by u(x,y,0)=v(x,y,0)=η(x,y,0)=0. The boundary conditions are u(Lx,y,t)=v(x,0,t)=vx,Ly,t=0 (where
Lx,Lyare the x,yboundaries) and u(0,y,t)is generated by the wavemaker as seen in Fig. 7. Like the previous example,
the value of cfis also set to 0. The challenging part in this benchmark test is the wave that propagates not only in wet
area but also several dry areas. Therefore, we apply the wet-dry procedure with a threshold of water thickness set to
105. The bathymetry data we got from [43] is shown in Fig. 8.

Fig. 7. Initial wave for Monai Valley experiment.
For wave influx, a leading-depression wave is used to represent the incident wave from offshore. The incoming wave,
as shown in Fig. 8, propagates towards the Monai beach. The wave approaches the shoreline at t=14 s. Moreover, the
maximum run-up happens at a recorded time t=16.3 s near Monai Valley. Fig. 9 shows that our numerical scheme has
estimated the wave run-up over the complex beach Monai Valley successfully with a mean average error of around 0.35%.
4.3. Wave passing through mangroves in Manila Bay
Finally, we simulate the wave attenuation in mangroves in Manila Bay. This study aims to show how the restoration
of mangrove forests in Manila Bay can protect the coasts against tsunamis.
In our simulations, we use a gridded bathymetry of Manila Bay provided by the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans
(GEBCO), https://www.gebco.net/. To be specific, the data capture the seafloor topography of a portion of Manila Bay, with
the longitude of 120.94 to 121.00, and the latitude of 14.51 to 14.65, which gives a domain of around 6 km by 15 km, with
grid sizes x=46.25 m,y=231.25 m, and a time step of t=1.87 s. Please refer to Fig. 10. The initial conditions are
given by u(x,y,0)=v(x,y,0)=η(x,y,0)=0. The boundary conditions are u(Lx,y,t)=v(x,0,t)=vx,Ly,t=0
(where Lx,Lyare the x,yboundaries); and on x=0 are east-traveling sinusoidal waves with initial amplitude of 2 m
and period of 60 s: u(0,y,t)=2 sin 2π
60 t. The presence of mangroves is modeled by applying a coefficient of friction cf

along the areas in front of the coastline. We vary the friction coefficient (cf=0,0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8) and the width of the
mangrove forest (100 m from the coast and 200 m from the coast). The values of cfare based on the values used in [39]
while the values for the width of the mangrove forest are based on the values used in [17]. Intuitively, the higher the
value of cfis, the denser the mangrove forest is. A wider mangrove forest will make the porous domain 2larger, which
in turn, should make the wave height reduction higher.

observation points (wave gauges) are depicted as red dots on the right.
Fig. 11. A 40-minute time series of surface elevation (η) at the three observation points. Simulations are done on varying coefficients of friction cf

The graphs in Fig. 11 show the evolution of surface elevation at the three different observation points: P-1(120.9565,
14.63), P-2(120.9555, 14.595), and P-3(120.989, 14.53). As expected, it can be seen how denser mangrove vegetation can
help reduce the wave height more. Similarly, the wave height reduction is greater for the case when the width of the
forest is higher. For the forest with a width of 200 m, wave height reduction is already significant even if cf=0.2.

Fig. 12. A 40-minute time series of surface elevation (η) at the three observation points. Simulations are produced by limiting the length of the
mangrove zone to be within 1 km of the sensors.
Additionally, the tide is much more stable, especially as the zone width is increased. In the case when the width is 200
m and the coefficient of friction is 0.8, the presence of mangroves can reduce ocean waves near the coast, by as much as
45%.
Because Manila Bay is already a highly urbanized coastal area, mangroves cannot be planted on some of its portions.
Hence, it is interesting to investigate the effects of mangroves on reducing the wave height. In Fig. 12, we present the
simulations when the mangroves are only placed on three portions of the bay. The length of the mangrove forests is
within 1 kilometer of the observation point. It can be seen how wave height reductions are still observed in the sensors.
5. Insights, conclusion, and recommendations
In the early 1990s, Manila Bay has extensive mangrove plantations, which were subsequently replaced by fishponds,
settlements, and port infrastructure [44]. The reduction of mangrove areas has further compromised their ecological
function of support for fishery production and of serving as habitats for both marine and terrestrial biodiversity.
Furthermore, about 70 percent of Philippine mangroves have been lost or severely degraded during the past 50 years
[45].
In 2020, the Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources started installing crushed dolomite boulders
along a portion of the Manila Bay beach [46]. The Marine Science Institute, University of the Philippines Diliman issued a
statement that the use of crushed dolomite sand will not help solve the environmental problems in Manila Bay [47].
Moreover, the Institute of Biology, University of the Philippines Diliman recommended mangrove rehabilitation as a
cheaper and more cost-effective nature-based solution than the dolomite dumping project [48].
Mangroves are a source of valuable plant products. They serve as nesting grounds for hundreds of bird species, as
well as nurseries, and are home to a wide variety of animals [49]. The mangrove ecosystem also provides a livelihood for
residents living in the coastal community [50]. Mangrove also plays a role in climate change mitigation particularly in
carbon absorption [51]. Furthermore, mangroves provide flood protection [52].
In this paper, we were able to quantify the wave attenuation in mangroves near the coast of Manila Bay. Our
numerical simulations emphasize another importance of restoring coastal mangrove vegetation in Manila Bay. Restoration
of mangrove forests in Manila Bay aligns with the 2008 SC Mandamus directing 13 Philippine government agencies to
clean up, rehabilitate, and preserve the bay [53]. We hope that the results of this study can guide the government in
making policies for the improvement of Manila Bay.

... The growing availability of computers led to the emergence of computational methods to study wave propagation around obstacles [15][16][17][18], and waves interaction with porous and flexible structures [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. Using similar models and methods, which are Shallow Water Equations and Finite Volume Method on a Staggered Grid, respectively, Magdalena et al. [15], and Magdalena et al. [18] studied different wave occurrences with different shapes of breakwater as well. ...
... Investigating different wave occurrence, which is waves propagation caused by an explosion, Soukup et al. [17] applied Finite Element method on the Navier-Stokes equations and studied the phenomena if a bar or trench is involved. In studying wave evolution when porous breakwaters were considered, Wiryanto [19], Magdalena et al. [21], Firdaus et al. [22], and Magdalena and Michael [23] used models related to Shallow Water Equations with different methods, bathymetry, and waves characteristics. However, all of these studies resulted in the same conclusion in which porous breakwater reduces wave transmitted amplitude effectively. ...

A depth-averaged non-hydrostatic model is formulated to investigate wave evolution on a water channel with a submerged trapezoidal breakwater. This model is an extension of nonlinear shallow water equations that includes hydrodynamic pressure and vertical velocity. In the momentum equation, a diffusion term is also considered to represent the turbulence effects in the system. The equations are solved numerically using a combination of a staggered finite volume method and predictor–corrector procedure. Comparisons are made against three independent laboratory experiments of wave propagation over submerged breakwaters. The level of agreement is higher than with Boussinesq-type and RANS models. The numerical scheme is also used to study the effect of the height, length, and diffusion coefficient of the breakwater on wave propagation. We have found that those characteristics affect the wave similarly by smoothing the wave shape and significantly reducing the transmitted wave amplitude.
... In this subsection, we present the mathematical model developed to analyze wavedamping effects caused by the combined presence of wooden fences and submerged rocks. The foundation of this model is rooted in the well-established Shallow Water Equations, briefly outlined in [26,27], which are widely recognized for their applications in various fluid dynamics problems [27,28]. A key innovation of this study is the novel application of these equations to simulate wave attenuation through the interaction of wooden fences and rocks, which has not been explored in prior studies. ...

Wooden or bamboo fences, commonly used for coastal protection, have limited effectiveness in reducing wave height due to their porous structure, which provides only moderate wave damping. To address this issue, our study proposes a modification that retains these fences while strategically incorporating submerged rocks, similar to gabions, to exploit friction and achieve significant wave height reduction. We employed a mathematical model based on modified Shallow Water Equations to investigate the wave attenuation. A key measure, the wave transmission coefficient (Kt), for quantifying wave height reduction was determined using both analytical and numerical methods. The numerical Kt obtained from simulations was 0.2831, whereas the analytically computed Kt value was 0.2622, which indicates a reduction of over 70% in the initial wave amplitude due to the combined effect of submerged rocks and wooden fences. These results, which align closely with experimental data, validate the credibility of our approach. A detailed sensitivity analysis illustrates the effectiveness of both wooden fences and submerged rocks in attenuating wave height, which depends on structure dimensions and friction coefficients. Optimization studies present various optimal structures, underscoring the critical role of the structure’s friction coefficient in minimizing the wave transmission coefficient, and recommend the use of rough materials for optimal wave height reduction. In summary, our paper offers a robust exploration of an innovative coastal protection strategy that integrates wooden fences and rocks. The validated model, supported by analytical, numerical, and experimental evidence, has the potential to provide practical insights for coastal engineers seeking efficient wave attenuation solutions.
... Second, through the optimization of the precast block designs based on their wave dissipation effectiveness, adjustments were made to various shape parameters including aperture, thickness, and wave sill size to determine the most suitable configuration. This research contributes to identifying the most effective design and improving wave dissipation performance in embankment construction [26]. However, it is important to note that in shallow or intermediate waters, it is common practice to use spectral waves in the form of irregular wave trains. ...

Slopes suffer damage from waves in coastal environments. Precast blocks with well-designed geometrical characteristics can benefit the construction of revetments by mitigating the issue of wave overtopping and dissipating wave energy. In this study, we numerically studied the effect of the geometrical characteristics of precast blocks on wave overtopping by carrying out a numerical simulation of wave overtopping on a slope covered with precast blocks. A total of three different types of blocks were considered in this study to determine the optimal geometric shape using a validated numerical model. Our numerical investigation demonstrated that the roughness of the precast block plays an important role in lessening the height of the wave run-up. Concave and embedded regular hexagons could reduce the wave run-up height by 44.6% compared with smooth slopes within a 2 s wave period. Herein, we evaluate and discuss the influence of the geometrical characteristics of a given precast block, such as thickness, aperture, and wave dissipation notch, on wave run-up. We also present an empirical formula for predicting wave run-up on a slope covered by a concave and embedded regular hexagon-type prefabricated block. This study provides valuable insights into the design of prefabricated revetment blocks.
... Early investigations have demonstrated that the presence of vegetation as bed roughness in open channels leads to an increase in Manning's roughness coefBcient (Chow 1959). Among various types of coastal vegetation, mangroves have been shown to attenuate wave energy, inCuenced by factors such as water depth, wave period, wave height, and mangrove characteristics (Mazda et al. 1997(Mazda et al. , 2006Bao 2011;Magdalena et al. 2021). In the case of tsunamis, mangroves exhibit a reduction eAect akin to porous seawalls (Hiraishi and Harada 2003). ...

This research investigates the effectiveness of mangroves and submerged breakwaters in mitigating wave energy and protecting coastal areas. Mangroves, with their dense root systems, and submerged breakwaters, which disrupt wave patterns, serve as natural and engineered solutions to reduce wave impact and erosion. The research highlights the synergistic benefits of combining these methods, demonstrating their potential to enhance coastal resilience against storm surges and rising sea levels. A mathematical model is employed to examine wave attenuation by mangroves and submerged breakwaters, solved analytically using the separation of variables method. Additionally, a staggered finite volume approach is implemented to numerically determine the wave transmission coefficient. For validation, numerical results are compared with analytical solutions. By evaluating different configurations and environmental conditions, the research provides insights into optimizing these strategies for sustainable coastal defense.

To date, there is limited information on how intertidal bare mudflats attenuate the energy of incident waves. This knowledge is urgently needed, particularly in contexts where coastal protection is predominantly based on mangrove forests as the main component of the current erosion control measures, leaving intertidal bare mudflats unattended in tropical developing countries. The authors used Tran De district, Soc Trang, Vietnam as an appropriate case study to address the question identified in the literature. The authors aimed to investigate the relationship between intertidal bare mudflats and the attenuation of incident waves in Tran De district, Soc Trang, Vietnam. The investigation was achieved through comparison with mangrove forests and intertidal bare mudflats in wave attenuation. Three treatments were established with measurements of site elevation, forest structure, and wave parameters using wave gauges. The results show that intertidal bare mudflats had a considerable capacity to reduce wave height and dissipate the energy of incident waves regardless of distance and tidal regimes. It was the ground elevation that helped the intertidal bare mudflats break the energy of the incident waves. The structure of mangrove forests was not the only element that contributed to wave attenuation. Intertidal bare mudflats should be reconsidered and integrated into coastal protection measures to increase their effectiveness in protecting muddy coasts.

This paper digs deeper into the phenomenon of wave oscillation that is caused by external forces, such as air pressure and seismic vibrations. This would eventually lead to potentially dire consequences, particularly in coastal areas. In order to solve this issue, this study focuses on adding a rigid breakwater at the bottom of the basin to minimize the aforementioned damages. We will be looking at a semi-closed basin with triangular width and either constant or triangular depth, to which is added one block of the submerged breakwater with smooth and rough surfaces. We will employ the modified shallow water equations to obtain the analytical natural period for each basin type. After that, numerical simulations are carried out to check the presence of resonance phenomena in each basin. Additionally, the study investigates the crucial role of the friction coefficient in preventing resonance in basins with rough-surfaced submerged breakwaters. The aim is to explore whether a single block of smooth-surfaced submerged breakwater is sufficient to eliminate resonance or whether other conditions are necessary to halt the resonance phenomenon in each basin. Ultimately, the findings of this study hold potential benefits for individuals involved in the planning and construction of harbors and protective structures. By gaining a deeper understanding of wave oscillation and resonance in semi-closed basins, the research aims to contribute valuable insights for creating more effective and resilient coastal protection measures.

In this paper, we investigate wave attenuation caused by mangroves as a porous media. A 1-D mathematical model is derived by modifying the shallow water equations (SWEs). Two approaches are used to involve the existing of mangrove: friction term and diffusion term. The model will be solved analytically using the separation of variables method and numerically using a staggered finite volume method. From both methods, wave transmission coefficient will be obtained and used to observe the damping effect induced by the porous media. Several comparisons are shown to examine the accuracy and robustness of the derived numerical scheme. The results show that the friction coefficient, diffusion coefficient and vegetation’s length have a significant effect on the transmission coefficient. Moreover, numerical observation is extended to a 2-D SWEs, where we conduct a numerical simulation over a real bathymetry profile. The results from the 2-D numerical scheme will be validated using the data obtained from the field measurement which took place in Demak, Central Java, Indonesia. The results from this research will be beneficial to determine the characteristics of porous structures used for coastal protection.

Rapid detection and early warning systems demonstrate crucial significance in tsunami risk reduction measures. So far, several tsunami observation networks have been deployed in tsunamigenic regions to issue effective local response. However, guidance on where to station these sensors are limited. In this article, we address the problem of determining the placement of tsunami sensors with the least possible tsunami detection time. We use the solutions of the 2D nonlinear shallow water equations to compute the wave travel time. The optimization problem is solved by implementing the particle swarm optimization algorithm. We apply our model to a simple test problem with varying depths. We also use our proposed method to determine the placement of sensors for early tsunami detection in Cotabato Trench, Philippines.

In this study, numerical modelling to see the effect of mangrove merged with seawall on wave mitigation over flat topography is developed. The model is based on Navier-Stokes equations. Resistance of the mangrove is described using Manning friction, whereas the seawall is created from particles and added directly to the topography. Numerical solution of the model is solved using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). Two types of seawalls; vertical and incline seawall are used. Results of the numerical simulations show that existence of the mangrove merged with vertical seawall can reduce 10.52191% in wave height and prevent the wave to pass the seawall. Whereas the existence of the mangrove merged with incline seawall can reduce 15.39512% in wave height but the wave still passes the seawall.

Coastal flood risks are rising rapidly. We provide high resolution estimates of the economic value of mangroves forests for flood risk reduction every 20 km worldwide. We develop a probabilistic, process-based valuation of the effects of mangroves on averting damages to people and property. We couple spatially-explicit 2-D hydrodynamic analyses with economic models, and find that mangroves provide flood protection benefits exceeding US65billionperyear.Ifmangroveswerelost,15millionmorepeoplewouldbefloodedannuallyacrosstheworld.SomeofthenationsthatreceivethegreatesteconomicbenefitsincludetheUSA,China,IndiaandMexico.Vietnam,IndiaandBangladeshreceivethegreatestbenefitsintermsofpeopleprotected.Many(>45)20kmcoastalstretchesparticularlythosenearcitiesreceivemorethanUS 65 billion per year.

Many (>45) 20-km coastal stretches particularly those near cities receive more than US 250 million annually in flood protection benefits from mangroves. These results demonstrate the value of mangroves as natural coastal defenses at global, national and local scales, which can inform incentives for mangrove conservation and restoration in development, climate adaptation, disaster risk reduction and insurance.

In this paper, we investigate the propagation of long waves in to a harbour with three different porous bottom configurations. The governing shallow water equations are modified to include additional terms to model the porous region. Analytical solutions are sought in the non-porous bottom case using a separation of variables method to provide the natural resonant periods of the basin for the three different harbour geometries. For fixed basin length the lowest resonant frequency increases as the profile goes from rectangular to parabolic to triangular. However, the rate of amplification increases from triangular, rectangular to parabolic. A computational scheme is proposed, using a finite volume method on a staggered grid, and is validated against the analytical solution prior to being used to investigate the effect of porosity and friction on wave resonance. The relative effectiveness of friction and porosity in controlling resonance is found to be dependent on basin geometry.

Wave run-up is the vertical extent of wave up rushed on a structure. To describe wave run-up characteristic, we tend to relate to its maximum height. It was a common belief that the leading wave will usually reach the maximum run-up. However, It turns out that this is not always the case. Resonance is a phenomenon when the incident wave shares the same frequency as the natural frequency. In this article, the natural frequency of a semi-enclosed basin on a plane structure is derived using the variable separation technique. Next, the staggered conservative scheme is used to test these natural frequencies through simulations of wave run up on a plane structure. The result shows that when the incoming wave frequency is close to the natural frequency, the largest run-up height is not the leading wave, but the second, third, or fourth waves. This indicates the occurrence of resonance phenomena. Sensitivity analysis was applied to show the dependence of the maximum run-up height to the structure’s slope, as well as the incident wave frequency. Further, a physical simulation was conducted to examine whether the resonance phenomenon appears in the actual events.

Long-period waves pose a threat to coastal communities as they propagate from deep ocean to shallow coastal waters. At the coastline, such waves have a greater height and longer period in comparison with local storm waves, and can cause severe inundation and damage. In this study, we considered linear long waves in a two-dimensional (vertical-horizontal) domain propagating towards a shoreline over a shallowing shelf. New solutions to the linear shallow water equations were found, through the separation of variables, for two forms of transition shelf morphology: deep water and shallow coastal water horizontal shelves connected by linear and parabolic transition, respectively. Expressions for the transmission and reflection coefficients are presented for each case. The analytical solutions were used to test the results from a novel computational scheme, which was then applied to extending the existing results relating to the reflected and transmitted components of an incident wave. The solutions and computational package provide new tools for coastal managers to formulate improved defence and risk-mitigation strategies.

This article presents the fifth-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory numerical method for solving a five-equation two-pressure non-conservative model of isentropic two-phase flow. The presence of non-conservative terms, shock waves and contact discontinuities offers more challenging tasks for developing the high order robust numerical methods. The proposed numerical scheme suppresses the unwanted oscillations near the steep gradients and resolves the contact discontinuities in an efficient way. Further, different test problems are taken to validate the efficiency of the proposed numerical scheme. Moreover, the improved central upwind scheme (CUP) is extended to solve the same model for checking the accuracy of the proposed numerical method. The numerical solutions obtained by the suggested scheme are compared with the solution profiles obtained from modified central upwind scheme.

The increasing amount of marine litter is a global issue that is also being experienced within the Manila Bay Philippines. To better understand the behavior of litter within the bay, particle tracking simulations of floating litter released from several sources were conducted. Forward-in-time (PTM-FIT) simulation of particle movements showed that during the southwest monsoon season, litter particles released by river sources tend to accumulate toward five hotspots located along the northeastern coastline of the bay. Backward-in-time (PTM-BIT) simulation of particles released from the identified hotspots showed coastal and foreign sources contributing to the litter collected within these areas. PTM-FIT simulations during the southwest monsoon season showed that particles tend to circulate locally within the bay before being transported toward the hotspots. By contrast, PTM-FIT simulations during the northwest monsoon season showed that litter particles tend to travel toward the mouth of the bay, an implication for global marine litter pollution.

In this paper, we will observe the wave profile that comes to a harbor of various geometries shapes with porous media at the edge of it. The governing equation is linear shallow water equation with modification by adding a friction term in the momentum equation. The analytical solution is derived to get the value of natural resonant period of the basin for various geometric. The equation will be solved numerically using finite volume method on a staggered grid. For validation, we compare our numerical results with the analytical solution. Effect of the friction term as the existence of porous media for wave’s resonance will be analyzed numerically.
