Predicting the drag of rough surfaces

D Chung, N Hutchins, MP Schultz… - Annual Review of Fluid …, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Reliable full-scale prediction of drag due to rough wall-bounded turbulent fluid flow remains
a challenge. Currently, the uncertainty is at least 10%, with consequences, for example, on …

Flow and transport in regions with aquatic vegetation

HM Nepf - Annual review of fluid mechanics, 2012 - annualreviews.org
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 …

Y Xu, CR Esposito, M Beltrán-Burgos… - Nature communications, 2022 - nature.com
Marsh vegetation, a definitive component of delta ecosystems, has a strong effect on
sediment retention and land-building, controlling both how much sediment can be delivered …

Hydrodynamics of vegetated channels

HM Nepf - Journal of Hydraulic Research, 2012 - Taylor & Francis
This paper highlights some recent trends in vegetation hydrodynamics, focusing on
conditions within channels and spanning spatial scales from individual blades, to canopies …

The fundamental role of ecological feedback mechanisms for the adaptive management of seagrass ecosystems–a review

PS Maxwell, JS Eklöf, MM van Katwijk… - Biological …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Seagrass meadows are vital ecosystems in coastal zones worldwide, but are also under
global threat. One of the major hurdles restricting the success of seagrass conservation and …

Flow‐induced reconfiguration of buoyant and flexible aquatic vegetation

M Luhar, HM Nepf - Limnology and Oceanography, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

From the blade scale to the reach scale: A characterization of aquatic vegetative drag

M Luhar, HM Nepf - Advances in Water Resources, 2013 - Elsevier
Previous studies have considered vegetative drag at different scales, the blade scale, the
patch scale, and the reach scale, but few studies have considered the connection between …

Hydrodynamics of aquatic ecosystems: An interface between ecology, biomechanics and environmental fluid mechanics

V Nikora - River research and applications, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
The paper promotes an emerging research area at the interfaces between aquatic ecology,
biomechanics and environmental fluid mechanics. This new area, Hydrodynamics of Aquatic …

The relationship between fine sediment and macrophytes in rivers

JI Jones, AL Collins, PS Naden… - River Research and …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The interplay between erosion and deposition are fundamental characteristics of river
basins. These processes result in the delivery, retention and conveyance of sediment …

Wave‐induced velocities inside a model seagrass bed

M Luhar, S Coutu, E Infantes, S Fox… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Laboratory measurements reveal the flow structure within and above a model seagrass
meadow (dynamically similar to Zostera marina) forced by progressive waves. Despite being …
