Drag Coefficient of Submerged Flexible Vegetation Patches in Gravel Bed Rivers

Vegetation patches and strips either along riverbanks or in channel beds are essential for the protection of erosion and sedimentation processes. In the present study, the drag coefficient Cdv of submerged flexible vegetation patches in gravel bed rivers was investigated. A total of 13 vegetation pa...

description Vegetation patches and strips either along riverbanks or in channel beds are essential for the protection of erosion and sedimentation processes. In the present study, the drag coefficient Cdv of submerged flexible vegetation patches in gravel bed rivers was investigated. A total of 13 vegetation patches with different densities were studied in disparate reaches of the Padena Marbor and Beheshtabad gravel bed rivers in Iran. Water depths, flow velocities, and particle grain sizes around these vegetation patches were collected. The Saint-Venant equation and various empirical equations for estimating the drag coefficient were applied to study hydrodynamics in the presence of vegetation patches under nonuniform flow conditions. Furthermore, the drag coefficient factor of flexible vegetation was used to represent the flexibility of vegetation patches and drag characteristics, which were explored from the perspective of material mechanics. The results showed that the calculated values of Cdv exhibited nonuniform variations with the increase in the Reynolds number along the streamwise direction due to flow nonuniformity. Two effects caused by flexible vegetation patches were observed, namely, the sheltering effect (for Red>580) and blockage effect (for Red
