Turbulent Kinetic Energy in Submerged Model Canopies Under Oscillatory Flow

Laboratory experiments measured the velocity inside a model meadow of submerged, flexible vegetation under 1 and 2 s period waves. The model plant consisted of a rigid stem and strap‐like blades, similar to the seagrass Zostera marina and the freshwater eelgrass Vallisneria Americana. The ratio of w...
