Abstract
The experimental studies for the artificial reef (AFR) subsidence characteristics in the unsteady flow field and in the unsteady flow-wave field were carried out. The difference of scou $r_sidence characteristics between in the steady flow field and in the unsteady flow field wad discussed and also the long-term subsidence characteristics in the unsteady flow field were investigated. AFR subsidence characteristics was discussed with Keulegan - Carpenter number(KC), Reynolds number (Re),. Shields number (Sn) and dimensionless time (t/Tt). And the difference of subsidence characteristics between in the unsteady flow and in the unsteady flow-wave field was discussed.ed.
