A numerical model for turbulent canopy flow has been formulated applying the LES concept on flows both above and within canopy. A fundamental equation together with numerical solution method of the large amplitude oscillation of an elastic beam which simulates an element of canopy layer, a stalk of grass, are presented. In the developing stage of turbulence, the inflectional point instability mechanism of shear layer acts to generate two-dimensional spanwise vortices, which then deferm into three- dimensional pairs of longitudinal vortex structure.
