Bioswales are a promising stormwater control measure (SCM) for roadway runoff management, but few studies have assessed performance on a field scale. A bioswale is a vegetated channel with underlying engineered media and a perforated underdrain to promot...

The failure of swirling ship propellers in marine environments can lead to huge repair costs. One of the main causes of such failure is when propellers tangle with vegetation, especially in shallow flow environments like ports, harbours, or shipyards. In...

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...

The roughness coefficient is a comprehensive parameter reflecting river resistance, which is widely used in the planning and design of river regulation and flood control projects. In recent years, as the upstream water conservancy and hydro-power project...

Aquatic submerged vegetation is widespread in rivers. The transverse distribution of flow velocity in rivers is altered because of the vegetation. Based on the vegetation coverage, the cross-section of the ecological channels can be divided into the non-...

Floodplain vegetation is of great importance in velocity distribution and turbulent coherent structure within compound open channel flows. As the large eddy simulation (LES) technique can provide detailed instantaneous flow dynamics and coherent turbulen...

Meteorological data from vegetated and un-vegetated wetlands during wet and dry seasons, were collected and analyzed to evaluate the role of wind and vegetation on wetlands? hydrology. Wind speed diminished by as much as 40%, accompanied by a measurable ...

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 ...
