Plants live in constantly moving fluid, whether air or water. In response to the loads
associated with fluid motion, plants bend and twist, often with great amplitude. These large …

The geometries and topologies of leaves, flowers, roots, shoots, and their arrangements
have fascinated plant biologists and mathematicians alike. As such, plant morphology is …

Hydrodynamics affected by vegetation in channel is one of the hot topics in ecological
hydraulics. Flexible vegetation plays an important role in natural flow region, which changes …

Riparian vegetation is a geophysical driver influencing the formation of fluvial landforms
through interactions with the flow field, sediment entrainment, transport and deposition …

Slender flexible structures such as plants are deformed by external flow. When the
deformation is significant, this results in a reduction of drag. We give a theoretical value of …

We are 'hairy'on the inside: beds of passive fibres anchored to a surface and immersed in
fluids are prevalent in many biological systems, including intestines, tongues, and blood …

Hydrodynamics of vegetated channels and streams is a rapidly developing research area,
and this chapter summarizes the current knowledge considering both aquatic and riparian …

An improved model to describe the drag and reconfiguration of flexible riparian vegetation is
proposed. The key improvement over previous models is the use of a refined …

This paper investigates the response of full-scale submerged riparian vegetation to
hydrodynamic loading, using data from towing tank experiments of high resolution and …

Many aquatic plants are flexible and bend in response to current. This reconfiguration can
reduce the drag on the plant, both by reducing the frontal area and by creating a more …
