 Abstract

Abstract: For a design purpose, this study mainly focuses on the channel resistance with different spatial distribution of the vegetation patches. Even under the same blockage factor, the total patch numbers in the channel, the distance between two vegetation patches both in the lateral and longitudinal direction as well as the length ratio of patches would have an influence of channel resistance. The increase of the lateral interfacial area and the increase of the total leading edge would contribute to a significant increase of channel resistance. Compared to the channel with emergent patches, the resistance of channel with submerged vegetation is less sensitive to the spatial distribution patterns.
