Reproducing and Quantifying Spatial Flow Patterns of Ecological Importance with Two-Dimensional Hydraulic Models
Natural streams typically have highly complex flow patterns. Velocity gradients, circulation zones, transverse flows, and other flow patterns are created in the presence of topographic features (e.g. exposed boulders, bars). How flow complexity influences a stream's ecological health and morpho...
