From: Mangrove roots model suggest an optimal porosity to prevent erosion
Schematic of the experimental setup and field of view (FOV) located in the mid-depth. (a) Side view of the experimental setup. (b) a picture of one physical model along with path configurations for different porosities. (c) top view of the experimental setup with simplified mangrove root models. The closed-loop water tunnel cross-section is 25 cm \(\times\) 25 cm with the blockage ratio of 10%. The setup includes a recirculating flume, an air-bearing system to mount the models, a high-speed camera, and PIV laser. A 45\(^\circ\) mirror was used to have a bottom-up view of the flow field.
