Instability of Grass Caused by Wave Overtopping [PDF]

open access: yesScour and Erosion, 2010
This paper presents a method to deal with the instability of turf in a grass cover that could be considered as an engineering approach, in which both turbulence and two strength models (root model and turf-element model) are discussed in a heuristic way. Turbulence is discussed because of its essential role in erosion.
