Laboratory experiments on alluvial cover in mixed bedrock-alluvial meandering channels and on the formation and evolution of supraglacial meltwater meandering streams
Rivers and other channels containing liquid flow develop meandering patterns over different media and across a broad range of scales. For example, alluvial rivers form and evolve by erosion and deposition of sediment, and by interactions with riparian vegetation. Meandering channels also form in …

How do sand-bed meandering rivers co-construct their own bankfull discharge and bankfull channel geometry? Analytical and numerical study
Alluvial rivers are authors of their own geometry. Given water and sediment, a river constructs its own well-defined channel and floodplain. This channel is characterized by a bankfull width and depth, longitudinal slope, and bankfull discharge when the flow spills out onto the floodplain. No …
