Turbulent flows over dense filament canopies
Akshath Sharma, Ricardo García-Mayoral
Turbulent flows over dense canopies of rigid filaments of small size are investigated for different element heights and spacings using DNS. The flow can be decomposed into the elem…

Scaling and dynamics of turbulence over sparse canopies
Akshath Sharma, Ricardo García-Mayoral
Turbulent flows within and over sparse canopies are investigated using direct numerical simulations. We focus on the effect of the canopy on the background turbulence, the part of…

Scaling and modelling of turbulent flow over a sparse canopy
Akshath Sharma, Ricardo García-Mayoral
The turbulent flow within and above a sparse canopy is investigated using direct numerical simulations. The balance of Reynolds to viscous stresses within the canopy is observed to…
