The significance of riparian vegetation on river flow and material transport is not in dispute.
Conveyance laws, sediment erosion and deposition, and element cycling must all be …

This study achieved three goals to clarify the impact of a vegetation patch on flow adjustment
and velocity. First, a valid equation for the interior adjustment distance (L d) inside a model …

Riparian shrubs and trees present a complex, seasonally variable morphology, with flexible
stems and leaves efficiently adapting to the flow forcing (reconfiguration). The aim of this …

The role of aquatic and riparian vegetation in driving morphodynamics of rivers is being
increasingly recognized across all river types. Here, we focus on gravel‐bed rivers, where …

Computational fluid dynamics was used to study the evolution of small patches of vegetation
into a vegetated landscape in a channel. The growth of new vegetation occurred in regions …

In an open channel, a vegetation patch increases local flow resistances, which impacts
velocity fields inside and outside the patch. A series of experiments was performed to …

This paper proposes an analytical model for predicting the longitudinal profile of depth-
averaged streamwise velocities in a channel with an emergent array of rigid cylinders. The …

Seagrasses are essential marine ecosystems for which restoration has proven challenging
due to increased hydrodynamic stress. This study aims to analyze the flow alteration …

This paper presents an experimental study on how both variable solid volume fractions and
aspect ratios (length/width) of a centre-channel rectangular porous patch under aligned …

Vegetation patches play an important role in controlling sediment deposition in shallow
aquatic environments such as coastal saltmarshes and fluvial systems. However, predicting …
