Abstract

Vegetation is crucial part of ecosystem in natural rivers. The flow structure changed mostly in streamwise, lateral, and vertical directions because of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability caused by vegetated canopy. In this study, the flow characteristics under the effect of limited-length submerged vegetation patch were investigated experimentally. The rigid submerged vegetation layer with 1.2 m length, 0.6 m width were used to simulate limited-length submerged vegetation patch in the experiments. The vegetation layer was composed using rigid circular plastic dowels with 0.01 m diameter and 0.05 m height. Two different vegetation densities which are and were used to obtain the effect of vegetation density. The velocity measurements were performed using ADV. According to the results obtained, the presence of vegetation causes strong gradient in the flow structure over the cross-section of the channel. Higher vegetation intensity causes higher velocity gradient in the velocity distribution. Additionally, “S-curve” shaped depth averaged stream-wise velocity profile was obtained along the cross-section with steeper curve for higher vegetation intensity. Turbulent kinetic energy was obtained higher in the vegetated part comparing to non-vegetated part. Furthermore, turbulent kinetic energy peak occurs at the vegetation interface between inner and outer layer in the vegetated part for higher vegetation intensity. Beside this, strong momentum exchange appears at the interface between the inner layer and outer layer at the vegetated part for higher vegetation intensity. The discharge capacity of the channel was also examined and found that discharge capacity decreases with increasing vegetation density.

Özet

Akarsulardaki bitki yapısı ekosistemin önemli bir parçasıdır. Akım yapısı, bitki tabakası nedeniyle meydana gelen Kelvin-Helmholtz istikrarsızlığından dolayı akım doğrultusunda, yanal ve düşey doğrultularda ciddi miktarda değişmektedir. Bu çalışmada, sınırlı uzunlukta batık bitki parçasının etkisindeki akım yapısı deneysel olarak araştırılmıştır. Deneylerde sınırlı uzunlukta batık bitki parçası, 1.2 m uzunluğunda ve 0.6 m genişliğinde rijit batık bitki tabakası kullanılarak benzeştirilmiştir. Bitki tabakası, 0.01 m çapında ve 0.05 m yüksekliğinde dairesel kesitli rijit plastik boru parçaları kullanılarak benzeştirilmiştir. Bitki yoğunluğunun etkisini belirlemek için, and olmak üzere iki farklı yoğunlukta bitki tabakası kullanılmıştır. Hız ölçümleri ADV kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, bitki tabakası kanal enkesiti boyunca akım yapısında ciddi bir değişime neden olmaktadır. Büyük yoğunluğa sahip bitki tabakası, hız dağılımında daha yüksek oranda hız değişimine sebep olmuştur. Buna ilaveten, kanal enkesiti boyunca derinlik ortalama hız dağılımında, büyük yoğunlukta daha dik olmak kaydıyla, bir S-eğrisi belirlenmiştir. Türbülans kinetik enerji, bitki tabakasının olduğu bölgede bitki tabakası olmayan bölgeye nazaran daha fazla meydana gelmiştir. Ayrıca en yüksek türbülans kinetik enerji değeri, yüksek yoğunlukta bitki tabakasının bulunduğu kısımda, bitki ile akım arasındaki sınır bölgede meydana gelmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra büyük yoğunlukta, bitki tabakasının bulunduğu kısımda, bitki ile akım arasındaki sınır bölgede kuvvetli momentum değişimi belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, kanalın debi kapasitesi incelenmiş ve bitki yoğunluğundaki artışın debi kapasitesini azalttığı görülmüştür.
