In a series of high resolution numerical modelling experiments, we incorporated submerged riparian plants into a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model used to predict flow structures and drag in river flow. Individual plant point clouds were captu... Read More about The importance of riparian plant orientation in river flow: implications for flow structures and drag.

Modeling complex flow structures and drag around a submerged plant of varied posture (2017)
Journal Article

Although vegetation is present in many rivers, the bulk of past work concerned with modeling the influence of vegetation on flow has considered vegetation to be morphologically simple, and has generally neglected the complexity of natural plants. Her... Read More about Modeling complex flow structures and drag around a submerged plant of varied posture.

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.
