Abstract
There are many natural calamities that are occurring in the world such as Tsunamis, mudslides, cyclones, and typhoons. The villages near the coast are destroyed and many people are dying every year because of these calamities. This research work investigates how Mangroves can protect the area near by the coast and how it can reduce the velocity of the fluid. The computational fluid dynamics is a great tool that can perform numerical simulation and can investigate the issues with less cost but in very realistic approach. In this study water velocity is taken as a step function and unsteady k epsilon turbulence model is considered with pre-defined Mathematical model. A Three-dimensional mangrove tree is developed and simulation is performed in Ansys software using finite volume method. The velocity and pressure contour flow pattern are analyzed and the results reveal that the mangrove has the capacity to reduce the flow velocity & shear stress near the bottom. It protects the coast from all the natural disasters and can act as a breakwater model.
