A nonlinear river meandering model and its incorporation in a landscape evolution model
A topographic steering river meandering (TSRM) model based on continuity of a simplified flow field through bends is developed. The equilibrium coupling between helical flow and sediment transport, as in Ikeda [1989] determines downstream variation of transverse bed slope. The model tests the …

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 …

Meandering rivers morphodynamics - integrating nonlinear modeling and remote sensing
… investigation of the morphodynamics of meandering rivers mostly involved the theoretical-analytical methodology. The development of analytical models enabled the definition of equilibrium conditions, stability and evolution of river meanders and to investigate the interaction between …

River - Riparian Vegetation Interactions
The river and the riparian ecosystem are two dynamical systems which exhibit complex spatio-temporal interactions. Because of the possible implications for engineering works and environmental management, in recent times a number of studies has focused on this topic, considering both large- and …

Numerical modeling of river migration incorporating erosional and depositional bank processes
… the nature of morphologic changes of meandering rivers has long attracted the attention of the scientific community, in the fields of fluvial geomorphology, hydraulic engineering and river restoration. Several meander evolution models developed over the years have provided a deeper …
