The onset of sediment transport in vegetated channels predicted by turbulent kinetic energy

The onset of sediment transport in vegetated channels predicted by turbulent kinetic energy

This laboratory study advances our understanding of sediment transport in vegetated regions, by describing the impact of stem density on the critical velocity, Ucrit, at which sediment motion is initiated. Sparse emergent vegetation was modeled with rigid cylinders arranged in staggered arrays of di...
