Structure of mass and momentum fields over a model aggregation of benthic filter feeders

The structure of momentum and concentration boundary layers developing over a bed of <i>Potamocorbula amurensis</i> clam mimics was studied. Laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) probes were used to quantify velocity and concentration profiles in a laborato...
