Living shorelines are nature-inspired solutions that can help reduce wave energy and resulting erosion in coastal areas. They have an added benefit of promoting biodiversity, often acting as artificial oyster reefs! FLOW-3D HYDRO is a great tool to evaluate wave energy reduction performance of such structures. This simulation is showcasing the WAD® product from Living Shoreline Inc. We see the wave attenuation, first with ray-tracing, but also with a colormap showing flow depth. As we see with the graph, there's 65% wave height reduction after the reef. Learn more at flow3d.com/hydro
