Flow measurement around organisms and surrogates (2014)
Book Chapter
Thomas, R. E., McLelland, S. J., Eiff, O., & Parsons, D. R. (2014). Flow measurement around organisms and surrogates. In L. Frostick, R. Thomas, M. Johnson, S. Rice, & S. McLelland (Eds.), Users Guide to Ecohydraulic Modelling and Experimentation: Experience of the Ecohydraulic Research Team (PISCES) of the HYDRALAB Network (43-74). CRC Press. https://doi.org/10.1201/b16630-11

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....

CRC Press. https://doi.org/10.1201/b16630-14

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.
