Natural plants have different morphologies, which may impact the velocity and turbulence
structures inside the canopy interior. Laboratory experiments investigated streamwise …

River restoration projects often involve vegetation planting to retain sediment and stabilize
riverbanks. Laboratory experiments have explored the impact of rigid emergent vegetation …

Floating canopies with unanchored roots are often distributed in streams and wetlands,
which alters the evolution of the flow velocity inside the canopy interiors. Based on the flow …

Clear water scouring often occurs in the channel downstream of a dam and changes the
grain size distribution of the channel bed, which impacts the bed resistance and flood …

Vegetation is widely used to restore waterways and wetland ecosystems. However,
emergent canopies create a nonuniform water surface, and predicting the backwater rise is …

Laboratory experiments measured sediment deposition and turbulent kinetic energy (TKE)
in bare and vegetated channels. The model vegetation represented a mangrove …

Riparian vegetation plays a fundamental role in alluvial channel evolution by modifying flow
and sedimentation dynamics. To elucidate the roles of sediment supply, flow‐dependent …

In this study, laboratory experiments were performed to investigate the impacts of sediment
size, channel velocity and plant density on sediment deposition inside an emergent canopy …

Floating vegetation with unanchored and connected roots can completely cover the water
surface of rivers, ditches, and streams. Eichhornia crassipes is a typical macrophyte with a …

Submerged vegetation changes the hydrodynamic characteristics of rivers, lakes, wetlands,
and coastal zones. However, only a few studies have focused on the effect of flexible …
