Density-driven exchange flow between open water and an aquatic canopy

Differences in water density can drive an exchange flow between the vegetated and open regions of surface water systems. A laboratory experiment has been conducted to investigate this exchange flow, using a random array of rigid, emergent cylinders to represent the canopy region. The flow pattern wa...
