Secondary Motion in Meandering Streams: An Experimental Study
Meandering is a common plan shape acquired by rivers. Its prevalence in the environment and highly dynamic nature make the mechanics of flow in meandering streams a great interest for engineers and scientists. Meandering streams are characterized by continuous variation of curvature in the …

Laboratory experiments on alluvial cover in mixed bedrock-alluvial meandering channels and on the formation and evolution of supraglacial meltwater meandering streams
… 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 bedrock …

Systematic connectivity in single thread meandering alluvial rivers: statistical generalization of hydraulic geometry
… Depth connectivity is investigated in alluvial meandering streams as a solution to river navigability. These types of rivers are naturally ordered systems, which exhibits self-similarity amongst many scales. Four river sections and four experimental runs were used to investigate patterns in …

Interactions between currents and the spatial structure of aquatic vegetation
… in nearly all aquatic environments, ranging from meandering streams to constructed channels and rivers, as well as in lakes and coastal zones. This vegetation grows in a wide range of flow environments as well, from stagnant water to highly turbulent flows dominated by waves and currents. …

Marine offshore to alluvial plain transitions within the "Chemung"-Hampshire interval (Upper Devonian) of the southern central Appalachians
… abundance of cycles deposited by high-sinuosity meandering streams and high-energy sheetfloods. Low depositional slopes were associated with the alluvial plain. Braiding, however, was probably due to high runoff associated with high rainfall in a tropical climate and inadequate floodplain …

Origin and stratigraphic architecture of the Middle Permian lower and upper Quanzijie low-order cycles, Bogda Mountains, NW China
… lower QZJ LC is mainly composed of meandering streams and associated overbank deposits that formed under a semiarid climate with strong precipitation seasonality and its delineation demonstrates that a process-response approach is effective in time-stratigraphic analysis of complex …

Origin and stratigraphy of Holocene sediments, Souris and Des Lacs glacial-lake spillways, north-central North Dakota
… Souris. After the flood subsided, an aggrading, meandering Souris River occupied the valley. Initially, the sides of both the Souris and Des Lacs Valleys were steep, and slumping occurred. Numerous intermittent streams entered the valleys from the sides and deposited coarse material close to the …

Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of the Coalmont Formation, Northwestern, North Park, Colorado, U.S.A.
… braided facies through more fine grained meandering streams and tributaries. Building on fluvial architectural element analysis, the lacustrine deltas of the Coalmont Formation have many of the fluvial elements defined by Miall which can be used in analysis of the fluvial lacustrine …

Non-cohesive bank migration in meandering rivers and bank accretion in weakly braided rivers
… in the dissertation is the migration of meandering rivers whose banks consist wholly, or partly, of non-cohesive bed-material-sized alluvial deposits; such banks are known as composite banks when the near-surface layers consist of fine-grained deposits. The relevant forces and …
