Effects of Patch Density and Incoming Sediment on Flow Characteristics and Bed Morphology

This study focuses on the effects of vegetation patch density, bed condition, and incoming sediment flow structure morphology within around a patch. The variation in upstream adjustment velocity is not well defined for low-density patches but decreases with increasing density high-density patches. length region greater vegetation. Incoming causes reduction both steady wake at low density. recovery increases when sparse, remains constant dense Additionally, due to sediment. Turbulent kinetic energy affected by bedform reaching its first peak. However, second maximum turbulent movable. evolution closely related growth von Karman vortex street. Both rising adjusted decrease while an increase length. Behind wake, minimum elevation, elevation as increases. These values, turn, supply flume.
