Model and laboratory study of dispersion in flows with submerged vegetation

Vegetation is ubiquitous in rivers, estuaries, and wetlands, strongly influencing water conveyance and mass transport. The plant canopy affects mean and turbulent flow structure, and thus both advection and dispersion. Accurate prediction for the transport of nutrients, microbes, dissolved oxygen an...
