On the edges of rivers where the flow velocity is low, aquatic plants flourish, with emergent rigid herbs being the most common. Since the flow structures of vegetated flow are strongly influenced by vegetation distribution patterns, homogeneous and hete...

This experimental study aims to investigate the characteristics of turbulent flow in channels with vegetated banks and varying channel width under the condition of the incipient motion of bed material. The natural reeds were used as emergent vegetation o...

Peatlands provide vital ecosystem and carbon services, and Canada is home to a significant peatland carbon stock. Global climate warming trends are expected to lead to increased carbon release from peatlands, as a consequence of drought and wildfire. Mon...

In this study, by assuming a small bottom slope, asymptotic solutions were developed to discuss natural convection within rooted emergent vegetation in response to different heating and cooling mechanisms. Based upon the maximum water depth in comparison...

Agricultural drainage networks within the Lower Mississippi River Basin (LMRB) have potential to attenuate nutrient loading to downstream aquatic ecosystems through best management practices. Nutrient uptake (nitrogen, phosphorus), gross primary producti...

This review paper addresses the structure of the mean flow and key turbulence quantities in free-surface flows with emergent vegetation. Emergent vegetation in open channel flow affects turbulence, flow patterns, flow resistance, sediment transport, and ...

Assessing the accuracy of nearshore numerical models?such as SWAN?is important to ensure their effectiveness in representing physical processes and predicting flood hazards. In particular, for application to coastal wetlands, it is important that the mod...

Density-driven exchange flows, which are important to the transport of nutrients, pollutants and chemical substances without external forcing, were studied through laboratory lock-exchange experiments. Rigid and emergent cylinders were placed in one of t...

Lake overgrowth is one of the mechanisms affecting the gradual disappearance of lakes in the temperate zone caused by excessive eutrophication of waters. The aim of this study was to assess the possibility of using helophytes as bioindicators of lake ove...
