Abstract:

In this paper, the hydrodynamic equation about the flow through plants has established through the physical model experiment and theory deduction, the hydraulic characteristics of vegetation dam has simulated with the established equation. The two-phase flow field of the water sink with plant dam overlay has simulated with software of FLUENT, and the free surface has been tracked with VOF method, the plant dam overlay districts has been simplified with many bores area method, and the infiltration rate has been determined with the pressure difference of before or after bores area. The simulation velocity magnitude is compared well with the measured data.
