Abstract

Laboratory experiments were conducted using two-component electromagnetic velocimeter to clarify the interaction between main flow and flexible artificial vegetation zone, which was attached to the central bottom and side wall of an open channel.Experimental results showd that in the main flow region under equilibrium horizontal components of secondary currents pointed in the direction toward the vegetation zone near the bottom, and in vegetation zone vertical components directed the upward. Furthermore horizontal waving of vegetation zone activated the momentum transport from main flow region to vegetation zone.
