Impact of stem size on turbulence and sediment resuspension under unidirectional flow

Laboratory experiments examined the impact of model vegetation on turbulence and resuspension. The turbulent kinetic energy increased with increasing velocity and increasing solid volume fraction, but did not depend on stem diameter. The vegetation-generated turbulence dominated the total turbulence...
