Flow patterns around two neighboring patches of emergent vegetation and possible implications for deposition and vegetation growth

The flow around two neighboring, circular, vegetation patches of equal diameter (D) was investigated using computational fluid dynamics. Depending on the patches’ transverse and longitudinal center-to-center spacing (T and L, respectively), several distinct flow patterns were observed. The patterns...
