ABSTRACT The bending behaviour of flexible submerged vegetation in water flow has been an important issue ecological hydraulics; however, the understanding its laws is still not in‐depth enough, and a comprehensive exploration governing parameters remains lacking. To address this gap, three‐dimensional numerical model based on fluid–structure coupling was built paper validated by experimental data. Utilizing model, single various scenarios simulated analysed. relationships between relative height (RBH) critical variables such as velocity, radius, elastic modulus submergence ratio were found fitted with different types equations. Through multiple regression, formula to estimate RBH derived simulation results. established can quickly characterize state water, providing basis for calculating resistance contributing ecological, engineering environmental studies.

Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is essential in experimental fluid mechanics, providing nonintrusive flow field measurements. Among the recent advances PIV algorithms, deep-learning-based optical estimation distinguished by its high spatial and temporal resolution, as well remarkable efficiency, especially RAFT-PIV, which based on Recurrent All-Pairs Field Transforms (RAFT). However, RAFT-PIV extremely susceptible to conditions characterized low signal-to-noise ratios (SNR), leading unacceptable errors. This study proposes PIV-RAFT-EN, an enhanced RAFT-based algorithm integrating image denoising, enhancement, via a Multi-Task Convolutional Neural Network (MTCNN). Evaluations synthetic real-world low-SNR data demonstrate superior accuracy efficiency. PIV-RAFT-EN offers reliable solution for precise measurements challenging environments, including practical applications like vehicle water entry.
