Abstract
The purpose of these comments and discussion has been to point out how wave statistics can be incorporated in applications of the drag coefficient model for regular breaking waves propagating on partly submerged vegetated sloping beaches proposed by Wang et al. (2025). This is demonstrated by using a distribution of the surf parameter provided by Myrhaug and Fouques (2007). Examples of results are given by applying a Phillips wave amplitude spectrum for wind sea.
期刊介绍:
Coastal Engineering is an international medium for coastal engineers and scientists. Combining practical applications with modern technological and scientific approaches, such as mathematical and numerical modelling, laboratory and field observations and experiments, it publishes fundamental studies as well as case studies on the following aspects of coastal, harbour and offshore engineering: waves, currents and sediment transport; coastal, estuarine and offshore morphology; technical and functional design of coastal and harbour structures; morphological and environmental impact of coastal, harbour and offshore structures.
