Numerical analysis of hydrodynamics influenced by deformed bed due to near-bank vegetation patch
WATER SUPPLY(2022)
摘要
This study with a 2D hydro-morphological model analyzes hydrodynamics over flat and deformed beds with a near-bank vegetation patch. By varying the patch density, the generalized results show that the hydrodynamics over deformed beds differs a lot from those over flat beds. It is found that the deformed bed topography leads to an apparent decrease in longitudinal velocity and bed shear stress in the open region and longitudinal surface gradient for the entire vegetated reach. However, the transverse flow motion and transverse surface gradient in the region of the leading edge and trailing edge is enhanced or maintained, suggesting the strengthening of secondary flow motion. Interestingly, the deformed bed topography tends to alleviate the horizontal shear caused by the junction-interface horizontal coherent vortices, indicating that the turbulence-induced flow mixing is highly inhibited as the bed is deformed. The interior flow adjustment through the patch for the deformed bed requires a shorter distance, L-a, which is related to the vegetative drag length, (C(d)a)(-1), with a logarithmic formula (L-a = 0.4ln[(C(d)a)(-1)] + b, with b = 3.83 and 4.03 for the deformed and flat beds). The tilting bed topographic effect in the open region accelerating the flow may account for the quick flow adjustment.
