Data of laboratory studies on wave propagation through vegetation with coexisting currents.rar

This data set was prepared to explore the effect of currents on wave dissipation by vegetation (hereafter referred as WDV) by conducting flume experiments with stiff plant mimics in combined wave-flow conditions. Two flume experiments with following and adverse currents were carried out respectively in a wave flume of the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory at Delft University of Technology and in a 26-m-long, 0.6-m-wide, 0.6-m-high wave and recirculating flume in Sun Yat-sen University. Wave height data, velocity data and force data were obtained in these two flume experiments. Notably, drag coefficient data were calculated using calibration method and direct measurement method. The data sets presented here includes the wave data, velocity data, force data, velocity profile and drag coefficient.
