There has been significant interest in post-tsunami surveys regarding how effective fringing reefs are at protecting coastlines from inundation caused by tsunamis. Limited attention has been given to the wave transformation characteristics and wave run-up dynamics within a complex reef-lagoon-channel system compared to the extensively studied two-dimensional horizontal fringing reefs. In response to this research gap, a three-dimensional numerical wave tank has been created, incorporating the incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equat...
