My research examines turbulence and sediment transport in flows with submerged vegetation. Turbulence can be generated by the wakes of individual plants. In addition, the velocity is redistributed by submerged vegetation, and a shear layer is formed at the top of the canopy, which generates canopy-scale turbulence.
