When aquatic plants deflect by waves and currents, absorption rate of dissolved inorganic carbon varies dramatically. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the effect of wave-current on aquatic plants. In the previous studies, there are significant problems such as not fully considering the interaction between elasticity and currents. In this study, we developed a Submerged Aquatic Vegetation model (SAV model) by including branch and using object-oriented programming that enables to analyze the accurate interaction between wave-current and aquatic plants. As a result, we estimated the values of significant parameters for SAV model from laboratory experiments. Also, Minimum Elastic Modulus of branch (MEM) is revealed to be associated with the length of branch though MEM is not affected by the flow velocity and the position of branch. It was demonstrated that the larger the branch length, the larger the MEM is needed.
