Vegetation density and patch dimension have a significant effect on the flow and vortex structure in the wake of vegetation patch, which can cause a different sediment transport behind the porous patch compared with transport in the interior vegetation zone. At MIT I studied the effect of different submergences and densities on flow and turbulence behind the porous patch with PIV technology.
