[II-24] Scaling law of energy reduction by flood protection forest
Keywords:flood protection forest , energy reduction, rivers in flood , hydraulic experiment, scaling
A flood protection forest is a conventional river-management measure that can fit well into the natural environment. This study focused on single-line tree models placed laterally across open-channel flows. We conducted horizontal particle image velocimetry (PIV) and drag force measurements in a laboratory flume to
examine the reduction efficiency of mean kinetic energy due to the tree members. Furthermore, a semi-theoretical formulawas developed that was found reasonable in predicting energy reduction efficiency.
