Fully Developed Open Channel Flow Over Clusters of Freshwater Mussels Partially Buried in a Gravel Bed by T. Lazzarin, G. Constantinescu, H. Wu, D. P. Viero

“…It is found that strong interactions occur between energetic eddies generated by the larger gravels on the exposed bed surface and by the mussel shells. Simulations results show that for a burial depth close to 50% and a ratio between the average gravel size and the mussel protruding height of 0.13, the shell induced turbulence becomes dominant for mussel bed densities around 50 mussels/m2. …”
