Land plants have adapted to survive under a range of wind climates and this involve
changes in chemical composition, physical structure and morphology at all scales from the …

This review surveys the large variety of mechanical interactions between wind and plants,
from plant organs to plant systems. These interactions range from leaf flutter to uprooting …

The interaction of the overlying turbulent flow with riblets, and its impact on their drag
reduction properties are analysed. In the so-called viscous regime of vanishing riblet …

We report quantitative measurements of the velocity field of collectively migrating cells in a
motile epithelium. The migration is triggered by presenting free surface to an initially …

The interaction of the overlying turbulent flow with a riblet surface and its impact on drag
reduction are analysed. The 'viscous regime'of vanishing riblet spacing, in which the drag …

The paper promotes an emerging research area at the interfaces between aquatic ecology,
biomechanics and environmental fluid mechanics. This new area, Hydrodynamics of Aquatic …

Due to the combination of high mechanical performances and plant-based origin, flax fibers
are interesting reinforcement for environmentally friendly composite materials. An increasing …

土壤风蚀过程包含风蚀动力过程和风蚀因子及风蚀速率在风蚀过程中的动态变化过程ꎮ
前者实验和理论研究成果丰富ꎬ 较清晰地刻画了颗粒起动, 搬运和沉降过程ꎻ …

Many species of macroalgae have flat, strap-like blades in habitats exposed to rapidly
flowing water, but have wide, ruffled “undulate” blades at protected sites. We used the giant …

The mechanism underlying the lock-in of frequencies in flow-induced vibrations is analysed
using elementary linear dynamics. Considering the case of lock-in in vortex-induced …
