Natural riparian vegetation generally presents a complex hydrodynamic behavior governed
by plant morphology and flexibility. By contrast, hydrodynamic processes in partly vegetated …

The structure of free-surface flows in a straight compound channel was investigated in a
laboratory flume, consisting of a central smooth-bed main channel (MC) and two adjacent …

Turbulent mixing layers associated with streamwise uniform and nonuniform flows in
compound channels (main channel with adjacent floodplains) are experimentally …

ABSTRACT The Vectrino Profiler is increasingly recognized as a promising instrument for
characterizing near-bed velocities and turbulence due to its high spatio-temporal resolution …

Free-surface flows through a staggered cylinder array were investigated in an open-channel
flume. The cylinders simulated rigid emergent vegetation. Specifically, we studied four flow …

The reported experimental study assesses the effects of flow non-uniformity on the
momentum flux in straight compound channels. Two flumes were used, featuring vertical …

The present paper aims to evaluate the effect of emergent rigid vegetation density on the
flow's turbulence structure and hydraulic parameters at the non-prismatic floodplains. The …

In mountain rivers, bed forms, large relatively immobile grains, and bed texture and
topographic variability can significantly alter local and reach‐averaged flow characteristics …

The present work combines experiments, computational fluid dynamics, and hydraulic
models to explain the recirculation length variations downstream of sudden lateral …

This study focuses on the transport of a pollutant during urban flooding, an emerging issue
that leads to a significant health risk. A laboratory experiment is conducted using a scale …
