The fluvial dynamics of compound meander bends
The dynamic evolution of the planform of meandering rivers often leads to the development of compound loops with multiple lobes of maximum curvature, also known as compound meander bends. At present, the interaction among spatial patterns of mean flow, turbulence, bed morphology, bank failures and …

The fluvial dynamics of confluent meander bends
… field, and modeling studies of confluence dynamics have focused mainly on junctions formed by straight approach channels that meet at angular configurations before entering a straight receiving channel. In contrast, natural rivers often meander and tributaries can enter meandering rivers on …

A field evaluation of the formative conditions, wavelengths and heights of alternate bars in alluvial channels
This study investigates the fluvial dynamics of straight natural stream channels. In particular, this experimental field study quantitatively assesses: (1) six experimentally derived formulas that predict the conditions for alternate bar formation and equilibrium bar dimensions, and (2) a …

Análise da estabilidade lateral em ambientes fluviais do semiárido paraibano.
… renovation and transformation, such as the fluvial systems. As the processes of lateral changes in river banks, are among the most recurrent processes in fluvial landscapes and the understanding of its mechanism of action is essential to the explanation of the evolution of the various …

Alluvial sedimentology and geomorphology of a cut and fill sequence on the Dassieboskloof River, Wuppertal, Southwestern Cape
The unique and well preserved fluvial sequences within the valleys of the Cederberg Mountains of the Western Cape, South Africa, provide the opportunity for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction which will add to the sparse evidence from across southern Africa. The location of the study site at the …

Disclose river morphodynamics processes through experiments
… engineering and scientific communities. In fact, fluvial dynamics have an impact on infrastructure and anthropic environments as well as on natural habitats. In addition, the economic values of river as routes of commerce is great, as is the importance of precious minerals deriving from fluvial …

Assessing the magnitude and frequency of hydrological processes and their effect on threshold channel morphology, North Bosque River, TX.
The North Bosque River (NBR) is a dynamic fluvial system experiencing geomorphic change resulting from hydrological and sedimentological influences. This thesis describes the forces that influence hydrological and geomorphological shifts along the NBR corridor, emphasizing the relationship between …
