Journal Article
Marjoribanks, T., Hardy, R., Lane, S., & Parsons, D. (2017). Does the canopy mixing layer model apply to highly flexible aquatic vegetation? Insights from numerical modelling. Environmental Fluid Mechanics, 17(2), 277-301. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10652-016-9482-z

Vegetation is a characteristic feature of shallow aquatic flows such as rivers, lakes and coastal waters. Flow through and above aquatic vegetation canopies is commonly described using a canopy mixing layer analogy which provides a canonical framewor...

Patch-scale representation of vegetation within hydraulic models (2016)
Journal Article
Marjoribanks, T., Hardy, R., Lane, S., & Tancock, M. (2017). Patch-scale representation of vegetation within hydraulic models. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 42(5), 699-710. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4015

Submerged aquatic vegetation affects flow, sediment and ecological processes within rivers. Quantifying these effects is key to effective river management. Despite a wealth of research into vegetated flows, the detailed flow characteristics around re... Read More about Patch-scale representation of vegetation within hydraulic models.

On the evolution and form of coherent flow structures over a gravel bed: Insights from whole flow field visualization and measurement (2016)
Journal Article
Hardy, R., Best, J., Parsons, D., & Marjoribanks, T. (2016). On the evolution and form of coherent flow structures over a gravel bed: Insights from whole flow field visualization and measurement. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 121(8), 1472-1493. https://doi.org/10.1002/2015jf003753

The microtopography of a gravel bed river has been shown to generate turbulent flow structures that originate from shear flow generated in the near bed region. Although field and laboratory measurements have shown that such flows contain a range of c...

The importance of accurately representing submerged vegetation morphology in the numerical prediction of complex river flow (2016)
Journal Article
Boothroyd, R., Hardy, R., Warburton, J., & Marjoribanks, T. (2016). The importance of accurately representing submerged vegetation morphology in the numerical prediction of complex river flow. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 41(4), 567-576. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.3871

This paper reports a novel method for the incorporation of complex plant morphologies into a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model, allowing the numerical prediction of flows around individual plants. The morphological complexity, which comprises... Read More about The importance of accurately representing submerged vegetation morphology in the numerical prediction of complex river flow.
