Evaluation of hydraulic roughness routines and properties in the presence of vegetation
Hydraulic roughness in the presence of vegetation is notoriously difficult to predict. However, reliable methods for predicting flow resistance in vegetated channels and floodplains are needed in order to address the needs of modern river engineering. To this end, the objectives of this research …

Dynamic vegetation Roughness in the riparian zone
Vegetation in the floodplain plays an important role in dictating the hydraulics of an open channel river system. While vegetation is beneficial to the biological productivity of the river system, it can also increase flood risk due to increased channel roughness. Traditional means of predicting …
