The limited growth of vegetated shear layers by Ghisalberti, Marco, Nepf, Heidi

“…In contrast to free shear layers, which grow continuously downstream, shear layers generated by submerged vegetation grow only to a finite thickness. Because these shear layers are characterized by coherent vortex structures and rapid vertical mixing, their thickness controls exchange between the vegetation and the overlying water. …”

Flow and Transport in Regions with Aquatic Vegetation by Nepf, Heidi

“…This review describes mean and turbulent flow and mass transport in the presence of aquatic vegetation. Within emergent canopies, the turbulent length scales are set by the stem diameter and spacing, and the mean flow is determined by the distribution of the canopy frontal area. …”

Flow and deposition in and around a finite patch of vegetation by Zong, Lijun, Nepf, Heidi

“…This laboratory study describes the flow and deposition observed in and around a finite patch of vegetation located at the wall of a channel. Two patch densities are considered with 2% and 10% solid volume fraction. …”

Spatial distribution of deposition within a patch of vegetation by Zong, Lijun, Nepf, Heidi

“…This laboratory study describes the spatial pattern of deposition observed in a patch of vegetation located at the wall of a channel. There are two sources of sediment flux to the patch: the advection of particles across the upstream leading edge and the lateral dispersion of particles from the adjacent open channel. …”

Drag, turbulence, and diffusion in flow through emergent vegetation by Nepf, Heidi

“…This energy transfer, linked to wake generation, affects vegetative drag and turbulence intensity. Drawing on this physical link, a model is developed to describe the drag, turbulence and diffusion for flow through emergent vegetation which for the first time captures the relevant underlying physics, and covers the natural range of vegetation density and stem Reynolds' numbers. …”

Interaction between flow, transport and vegetation spatial structure by Luhar, Mitul, Rominger, Jeffrey Tsaros, Nepf, Heidi

“…This paper summarizes recent advances in vegetation hydrodynamics and uses the new concepts to explore not only how vegetation impacts flow and transport, but also how flow feedbacks can influence vegetation spatial structure. …”

Vegetation wakes and wake interaction shaping aquatic landscape evolution by Kondziolka, John Michael, Nepf, Heidi

“…The velocity in wake regions is then adjusted to match the wake structure measured in laboratory studies with individual and pairs of vegetation patches. Vegetation is added based on a probabilistic function linked to the velocity field. …”
