Abstract
Tidal flooding over mangrove swamps is subject to the drag resistance produced by mangrove roots, fallen branches, seedlings and mangrove bed conditions. A numerical study has been carried out to simulate the tidal flow over mangrove swamps in an estuarine mangrove, Kemaman Terengganu. This study aims to understand the characteristics of tidal level variations and velocity fields under the influence of the complex morphology and densely mangrove roots system.
