A frequency distributed dissipation model for canopies
Existing dissipation models (bulk and frequency distributed) describing the wave attenuation in canopies rely on a characteristic shape of the velocity profile and corresponding characteristic frequency, which is integrated analytically over the height of the canopy. This means that all frequencies higher than the characteristic peak frequency are assigned excessive dissipation, while all frequencies lower […]
