Flood hazard mitigation in urban areas crossed by vegetated flows can be achieved through
two distinct approaches, based on structural and eco-friendly solutions, referred to as grey …

Many kelp aquaculture farms consist of moored arrays of long horizontal lines that grow kelp
near the water surface. Most kelp farms are deployed in the same direction of wave …

As a kind of marine plant, kelp plays an important role in the improvement of marine
environment. In addition, kelp arrays exhibit a great potential for wave attenuation. In this …

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, more and more marine eco-
structures are being built. Mangroves, corals and seaweeds can be combined with marine …

Vegetation in freshwater and coastal ecosystems modifies flows, retains sediment, protects
banks and shorelines from erosion. Hydraulic laboratory studies with live vegetation or …

Hydrodynamic characteristics are needed to optimize the design of kelp aquaculture
systems. To support this need, the objective of this study was to resolve both the normal and …

Vegetation surrogates have been extensively used in laboratory experiments for studying
flow–vegetation interactions. However, it remains unclear how accurately the surrogates …

Seagrass surrogates are commonly used to mimic the behaviour of seagrasses exposed to
currents and their effects on flow fields. The interaction is highly dependent on the chosen …

In this article, we track the evolution of fluvial biogeomorphology from the middle of the 20th
century to the present. We consider the emergence of fluvial biogeomorphology as an …

Physical interactions between seaweed blades of Saccharina latissima and unidirectional
turbulent flow were examined in an open-channel flume, focussing on flow velocities, drag …
