Fluid–structure interaction in a flexible vegetation canopy in an open channel
2022
Overview
Submerged flexible vegetation occupies the core of aquatic ecosystem research. Hydrodynamics of submerged flexible vegetation and its interaction with the flow in an open channel are of great significance in studying the mass and momentum transports in the flow. In this study, a numerical model for highly flexible vegetation based on large eddy simulation and the immersed boundary method was used to simulate the flow–vegetation interaction. It is recognised that alternate vortices with opposite sense rotations appear at the flow–vegetation interface. These vortices prompt the vegetation canopy to have wave-like coherent waving motion, commonly called the monami phenomena. The spatial scale and the spreading velocity in the streamwise direction of these vortices determine the wavelength, frequency and amplitude of the vegetation coherent waving motion. In this study, the fast Fourier transform method was applied to analyse the factors affecting the characteristics of the vegetation coherent waving motion. It is revealed that, as the flow velocity increases, the wavelength of the coherent waving motion decreases, while the frequency and amplitude increase. Besides, as the vegetation spacing increases, the wavelength and amplitude of the coherent waving motion increase, but the frequency decreases. Furthermore, an increase in the relative density of vegetation magnifies the amplitude of coherent waving motion without affecting the wavelength and frequency.
