Local hydrodynamics at edges of marine canopies under oscillatory flows - Fig 5

Mean velocity transects across the width of the flume (y-axis) for: z = 10 cm for flexible (a) and rigid (b) canopy models, for z = 7 cm for flexible (c) and rigid (d) canopy models, and z = 5 cm for flexible (e) and rigid (f) canopy models. Positive values indicate flow towards the beach slope while negative values indicate that the flow is directed towards the wavemaker. Horizontal dashed lines correspond to mean velocities for the experiment without plants. Vertical dotted lines correspond to the y-position of the edge of the vegetation. Negative y values correspond to the region covered with plants.
