Flow-induced reconfiguration of buoyant and flexible aquatic vegetation

Plant posture can play a key role in the health of aquatic vegetation, by setting drag, controlling light availability, and mediating the exchange of nutrients and oxygen. We study the flow-induced reconfiguration of buoyant, flexible aquatic vegetation through a combination of laboratory flume expe...
