Abstract

Laboratory experiments with silicone cylinders simulating flexible vegetation, the Acoustic Doppler velocimetry (ADV) measuring the flow field were performed to investigate the turbulence characteristics of open-channel flow with flexible vegetation. The results and analysis indicate that mean bulk velocity, submergence and vegetation density have significantly effect on streamwise velocity, turbulence intensity and Reynolds stress of flow respectively.
