Seagrass Canopy Flow Profile (2D Cross-Section)

Interactive 2D cross-section simulation of seagrass canopy flow attenuation, Stokes particle settling and spatially-resolved sediment carbon deposition along a meadow.

Ecology & Conservation Biology2DModerate60 FPS📱 Mobile-adapted⇄ 3D version

A 2D streamwise cross-section of seagrass canopy-flow trapping: the same Nepf drag-balance attenuation and Stokes-settling-plus-turbulent-diffusion physics as the 3D meadow, but rendered as a height-resolved velocity profile and a spatially binned bed-deposition field along the flow direction — revealing where along the meadow sediment carbon actually piles up, not just how much in total.

⚙ Under the hood

Interactive 2D cross-section simulation of how seagrass shoot density attenuates near-bed water flow, plotted as a height-resolved velocity profile alongside a spatially binned bed-deposition field that reveals exactly where along the meadow sediment carbon piles up.
