Wave-attenuation characteristics of combined-vegetation wave break forests for big rivers with large flood water level changes

For large rivers with a compound cross section, the downstream channel has a very wide water surface during the flood season. A wide water surface, high water level, and larger wind speed will cause higher waves, increasing the threat of flooding to the dike. The design of a combined-vegetation wave...
