Hydrodynamic Drag Measurements of Riparian Woodland Trees and Shrubs I
Abstract
Vegetation-flow interactions are central to many problems of practical interest to hydrologists and hydraulic engineers including flood risk assessment, sediment transport studies, and eco-hydraulic studies.The main objective of this proposal is to improve current approaches for the accurate prediction of flows in riparian floodplains, with a focus on common European woodland tree and shrub species.The hydraulic resistance of riparian woodland will be characterised through direct measurement of hydrodynamic drag measurements. The experiments combine hydraulic and plant property investigations and will be conducted in the towing tank at the seakeeping laboratory at CEHIPAR (Spain).
