Vegetation plays an important role in the natural systems, including rivers and coats. Vegetation impacts the fluid mechanics as well as sediment transport. In my research at MIT, I am interested in investigating the interaction between fluid mechanics and channel bed sediment (i.e., scour and deposition) numerically, under different vegetation scenarios. This will have significant practical engineering applications in both river and costal engineering designs, especially in nature-based solutions (NBS) designs. I am using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools to predict the behavior of vegetated flows.
