Abstract
In order to study the effect of flexible vegetation for the flow in open channels with flood plains, a series of experiments were carried out in a laboratory flume with a two-stage floodplain. Four cases, i.e., dense parallel arrangement, normal parallel arrangement, sparse parallel arrangement and no vegetation condition, were designed with fixed water depth and discharge. By using three dimensional (3D) laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV) and other instruments, under the condition of the four cases,3D flow velocities, water level and turbulence intensity were measured, The experimental results show that, compared with the non-vegetation situation, the arrangement of grasses on the floodplain will increase the water surface gradient, hydraulic gradient and turbulence intensity to a certain extent.Keywords
