Physical investigation of hydrodynamic properties of tsunami-like wave over an uneven coral reef with a seawall

Puntos clave

• Tsunami-like waves exhibit unique hydrodynamic properties influenced by coral reef structures.
• Key metrics show significant variations in wave height and speed at different reef elevations.
• Physical investigation conducted using large-scale water tank experiments to simulate wave interactions.
• Findings may inform coastal engineering solutions for better tsunami impact mitigation.
