Abstract

In the case of dense and homogeneous canopies, it is well-known that canopy flows are similar to mixing layer flows (so-called mixing layer analogy). When the canopy becomes sparser, a transition between the mixing layer and the boundary layer perturbed by interactions between element wakes occurs. This transition has still to be fully understood and characterized. An experimental work has been developed in order to study this transition for various density canopies.
