This paper summarizes current practices for the estimation of flow resistance caused by
floodplain vegetation in emergent flow conditions. The current state-of-the-art for the …

A two-layer approach for depth-limited open-channel flow with submerged vegetation is
described. A momentum balance is applied to each layer and expressions for the mean …

An analytical model for predicting the vertical distribution of mean streamwise velocity in an
open channel with double-layered rigid vegetation is proposed. The double-layered model …

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 …

Ecohydraulics: An Integrated Approachprovides a research level text which highlights recent
developments of this emerging and expanding field. With a focus on interdisciplinary …

Vegetation is a key aspect of water resources and ecology in natural rivers, floodplains and
irrigation channels. The hydraulic resistance of the water flow is greatly changed when …

This paper compares parameters that characterize vegetation flexibility effects on flow
resistance and drag. Drag forces have been measured in a flume for simple cylindrical …

Vegetation has important functions of conserving water sources, reducing surface sediment
transport, slowing down the process of soil erosion, purifying soil quality and filtering …

Surface flow redistribution on flat ground from crusted bare soil to vegetated patches
following intense rainfall events elevates plant available water above that provided by …

The research presents an experimental investigation on change in streamwise flow velocity
and turbulent characteristics over a fixed dune shaped bed feature, in the presence and …
