Multiscale flow-vegetation-sediment feedbacks in low-gradient landscapes

LG Larsen - Geomorphology, 2019 - Elsevier
Abstract Low-gradient fluvial landscapes (1–50 cm km− 1) occupy diverse settings (inland,
tidal, and deltaic wetlands, large-river floodplains, lowland streams) but share many …

Predicting bulk average velocity with rigid vegetation in open channels using tree-based machine learning: a novel approach using explainable artificial intelligence

DPP Meddage, IU Ekanayake, S Herath… - Sensors, 2022 - mdpi.com
Predicting the bulk-average velocity (UB) in open channels with rigid vegetation is
complicated due to the non-linear nature of the parameters. Despite their higher accuracy …

Vegetation is one of the major topographic features that is encountered along and across
the margins and flood plains of many rivers systems. This vegetation creates a most complex …

Evidence for Raupach et al.'s mixing-layer analogy in deep homogeneous urban-canopy flows

W Zhang, X Zhu, XIA Yang, M Wan - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022 - cambridge.org
The mixing-layer analogy is due to Raupach, Finnigan & Brunet (Boundary-Layer Meteorol.,
vol. 25, 1996, pp. 351–382). In the analogy, the flow in the roughness sublayer of a …

How vegetation in flows modifies the turbulent mixing and spreading of jets

M Mossa, M Ben Meftah, F De Serio, HM Nepf - Scientific reports, 2017 - nature.com
While studies on vegetated channel flows have been developed in many research centers,
