Abstract

The velocity distribution in and above model vegetation is the subject of this study. Experiments have revealed that flow over a surface which has been made rough by covering it with tall simulated plants may have a universal distribution law. It is suggested that this law can be expressed in terms of the two parameters (∆u/v*) max and n0, which in turn depend on the shape, height, and spacing of the covering elements.
