A Laboratory Study of the Shallow Flow Field in a Vegetated Compound Channel

The significant defensive role of vegetation in general and mangroves in particular for coastal and estuarine regions has been increasingly recognized. However, understanding the shallow flow field in and around the region of vegetation is still limited. In order to gain more insight, a laboratory experiment of a vegetated compound channel...

Exchange Processes Induced by Large Horizontal Coherent Structures in Floodplain Vegetated Channels

Mangrove forests along the Mekong delta estuaries are usually observed to degrade together with the increasing extension of fish farms. In this limited-width condition, the formation of coherent structures, their interactions with mangroves, the role of the width of the mangrove forest, and their effects on the exchange processes between the...
