Hydrodynamic characteristics of submerged vegetation flow with non-constant vertical porosity.

In order to investigate the influence of the vertical variation of porosity on open-channel flow with submerged vegetation, vertical non-homogeneous stumps and stems in submerged vegetation flow are simulated with truncated cones in a laboratory flume. First, porosity is defined as a function of wat...
