摘要:Vegetation is one of the key factors in river management where
environmental aspects as well as flood protection should be taken into
consideration. Because of this, numerous studies have been done including
experiments and hydrodynamic modelling. Because most of experimental
studies were made in indoor laboratory flumes with artificial trees, there are
still limitations in transfer of their result to actual channels. REC (River
Experiment Center) of Korea has been operating three real-scale, nature-like
outdoor experimental channels. In a straight channel, several 4x2 m actual
willow patches were planted and have been grown last three years for studies
on flow vegetation interaction. A set of intensive flow measurement was
made around the first upstream willow patch using ADVs together with
measurement of vegetation properties. The experiments were made under
several different depth conditions simulating snow-melt and flash-flood.
Distribution of flow around and through the patch was characterized along
with vertical profiles. The results of the experiment enhance understanding
on interaction of flow and actual vegetation in a natural channel and may
also provide information on flow resistance used for hydrodynamic
modelling and validation.
