Abstract: Distinctive whiskerlike lines observed in an aerial photography dearly appeared in the experimental channel, evincing the type of horizontal flow mixing that arises from large-scale horizontal eddies due to vegetation, and thus proving that considerable horizontal mixing occurs in flood flows in actual rivers where vegetation exists. Application of the authors' analytical method for horizontal two-dimensional flows accurately duplicated actual horizontal flow conditions during flooding in the Tone river demonstrating that it is possible to calculate the general development of horizontal mixing in longitudinal areas with vegetation.
