Flow-vegetation interactions at the plant-scale : the importance of volumetric canopy morphology on flow field dynamics

Vegetation is abundant in rivers, and has a significant influence on their hydraulic, geomorphological, and ecological functioning. However, past modelling of the influence of vegetation has generally neglected the complexity of natural plants. This thesis develops a novel numerical representation o...
