| Abstract: | Shallow mixing layers developed in partially-distributed canopy flows (PCFs) are important for water conveyance, sediment transport and solute dispersion. In this paper, we address the response of shallow mixing layers in PCFs to several influential factors associated with bed friction, water shallowness and canopy denseness using depth-averaged Large Eddy Simulation (DA-LES). The results show that under certain canopy denseness, shallow mixing layers in PCFs display asymptotic behaviour for the variation of bed friction and water shallowness, consistent with classic shallow mixing layers. The canopy drag encourages the asymmetric growth of the inner and outer parts of the mixing layer, and this effect decreases when bed friction and water shallowness become pronounced. Characteristic velocity and length scales show similarity well delineated by exponential decay function regarding a stabilization efficiency parameter. The exception happens for the inner length scale of the mixing layer when only changing canopy density. We conclude that changing the canopy denseness can encourage the overall shift of mixing layer scaling regarding a broad range of bed friction and water shallowness. Furthermore, the bed friction parameter thresholding triggering flow instability of mixing layers in PCFs is found about 0.03, lower than 0.09 for splitter-plate induced mixing layers.
