摘要: Coastal vegetation is capable of mitigating tsunami damage. Yet, the complex tsunami dynamics induced by spatial variability of onshore vegetation are not well understood at present. Laboratory and numerical investigations were conducted to study the impact of patchy vegetation on tsunami dynamics. Roughness patches composed of various cylinder numbers and spacings represented different bulk vegetative conditions in the experiments, and a Boussinesq model was applied to extend the range of the experiments. Analysis revealed that roughness patches reduced the maximum momentum flux by up to 80% over most areas, whereas within-patch roughness variation induced uncertainty on hydrodynamics adjacent to the seaward patches. Dimensional analysis revealed a logarithmic relation between the area protected from extreme momentum flux and the total roughness area. These findings demonstrate that patchy vegetation, with appropriate configuration, can be as effective as a continuous forest belt in mitigating tsunami hazards.
