Turbulence statistics and structures in fully developed open channel flows with periodic surface coverages.

The article explores the impact of periodic surface coverages on turbulence characteristics in open channel flows, particularly relevant for floating solar farms. Lower coverage percentages are found to increase turbulence intensity and skin friction, affecting the formation of coherent structures. The study highlights the need for further research to understand the dynamics of vortices and energy dissipation in different flow conditions. Additionally, the document includes a list of research articles covering various aspects of fluid mechanics, turbulence, and channel flow, offering valuable insights into the complex behavior of fluids in different environments.
