Natural convection due to surface cooling in sloping water bodies with vegetation
Natural convection induced by surface cooling in sloping water bodies with vegetation is investigated numerically. The sloping water body consists of a vegetated region with a bottom slope equal to 0.1 and a deep region with a horizontal bottom. The volume-averaged Navier–Stokes equations together with the volume-averaged energy equation are solved numerically in the vegetated region. Submerged vegetation has an equivalent porosity of 0.85. The vegetation length is either equal to the total or half the sloping region. A differential cooling is applied at the top free surface with a varying heat loss rate between the two regions. The non-vegetated sloping water body is also considered for validation purposes. The results indicate that, when cooling is reduced in the vegetated region (a) there is a time delay for the establishment of the quasi-steady regime and (b) the exchange flow rate and the gravity current's velocity decreases with increasing vegetation length. When cooling is completely blocked, different circulation patterns are developed.
