Quantifying wave-induced pressures on a saltmarsh cliff during storms:An experimental study

40m long, 1m wide, 0.8 m height 1:10 Froude scaling 7m saltmarsh model with/without vegetation, cliff of 0.06 m high Regular waves; H 0 = {0.05-0.12 m}, T 0 = {0.9-1.9 s}, d 0 = {0.3-0.7 m} Vegetation scaling Froude and Cauchy similitude Flexible Neoprene cord, height 90mm, 2mm EI-modulus of 2 GPa 45.000 shoots at a density of 6500 shoots/m 2 NWA.1292.19.257Near-cliff velocity patterns during storm conditions (i.e.large water depths and wave heights) increase pressure fluctuations at a saltmarsh cliff.Vegetation protect the saltmarsh cliff by attenuating velocities and therefore pressure fluctuations at cliff.
