Project Summary: The overarching goal of this research is to understand how the flexibility of aquatic plants alters the dynamics of flow and pressure at the bed interface, as well as above and below. We hypothesize that the flow dynamics induced by a swaying plant are fundamentally different from those induced by a rigid one.
