Abstract
Aqueous environment with vegetation in coastal areas plays important role in ecologic systems. The plants in aqueous environment caused to vertical and lateral changes of flow velocity profile. When sunlight penetrates the water, it will turns into heat energy. The plants caused to blocking the light path, to make a difference in temperature and thus the density differences on the horizon. This density gradient will lead to the gravity flow. Due to the observations, in coastal wetlands, beside the plants the emerged from the water, there are some completely submerged plants that their root in the soil and shallow layer of fluid covered on them. This study to approaching the conditions, is...
