Floodplain vegetation can alter the flow characteristics of a river through the application of redundant drag forces. In this study, turbulence characteristics and flow structure were investigated under the influence of partially double-layered vegetation in a compound channel. To investigate the phenomenon, a three-dimensional numerical model was used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations and track the evolution of the free surface. To ensure the performance of the model, the numerical results were validated using data from previous experimental studies. The validation results showed that this model captured the flow dynamics with high accuracy. In the next step, the model was used to predict the free surface fluctuations and velocity field of the steady flow in the layered vegetated floodplains. The modeling results showed that the formation of a velocity gradient at the interface between the main channel and the floodplain can lead to the development of secondary flows and the mass and momentum exchange at this interface. In addition, turbulent kinetic energy and turbulent dissipation of the flow through vegetation in floodplains was observed in the numerical results. It was concluded that the layered vegetation can increase the flow turbulence and the dissipation rate of the flow energy. The maximum values of turbulence kinetic energy and turbulence intensity were observed at the interface between the floodplain and the main channel. Therefore, the flow disturbance at the interface between the floodplain and the main channel may increase the mass and momentum exchange in this region.
