The incipient motion of sediment in a channel with model emergent vegetation

In a bare channel (without vegetation), the incipient velocity for sediment motion, U[subscript crit], has historically been related to the mean bed shear stress ([bar over τ]) o or friction velocity (U[subscript ∗] = √[bar over τ]/ρ). More recent studies, however, suggest turbulence also plays a ro...
