This chapter reviews methods of measuring turbulent fluid flowing through and around flora and fauna. It begins with a discussion of the relevant aspects of the nature of turbulent flows and highlights difficulties associated with their measurement....

The previous chapter outlined the challenges of looking after plants and animals hydraulic experiments. These challenges can be circumvented if inanimate surrogates can be substituted for the prototype organisms without detriment to the relevance of...

Most studies on coastal and fluvial hydro-and morpho-dynamics have focused on flow properties and their interactions with sediments. However, it has long been accepted that vegetation is also an important factor that can affect the flow in, and the m... Read More about Plants, hydraulics and sediment dynamics.
