Seminar: Waves Through Aquatic Vegetation: Flow-Vegetation Hydrodynamics and Sediment Transport
Fitts-Woolard Hall 3301 Raleigh, NC, United StatesAbstract: Aquatic vegetation alters the flow and sediment mobility within and around them, shaping coastal environments in the long term. Improved sediment transport relations for vegetated flows become fundamental for predicting sediment transport rates through aquatic coastal ecosystems. We investigate suspended sediment transport under flow-vegetation hydrodynamics in oscillatory boundary layers. We conduct experiments in a…
