Abstract

Flexible vegetation is common in river channels, in which it enhances water quality but also complicates flow velocity distributions, impacting channel roughness. This study explored the changes in channel roughness caused by the presence of flexible vegetation. By combining theoretical analysis with flume experiments, we enhanced the resistance calculation formula to encompass both the deflection angle and the degree of submergence of plants. Furthermore, threshold segmentation and a Gaussian mixture model were employed to mitigate 60%–75% of the width affected by trailing artifacts. This method allows automatic and accurate reading of the deflection angle, and, ultimately, a Manning’s coefficient calculation formula was derived that incorporates the characteristic parameters of flexible vegetation. The formula’s accuracy was investigated using experiments, and changes in roughness under different vegetation arrangements were analyzed systematically. The results show that the error in the calculated values of the formula developed in this study was within 10% of the measured values, which indicates the high practicality and applicability of the formula in rivers with flexible vegetation. Additionally, with the same planting density and flow conditions, the clumped arrangement exhibited the most significant increase in roughness, nearly 1.4 times that of the uniformly arranged roughness, followed by the random and quincuncial arrangements, whereas the uniform arrangement had…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
