We review the importance of the physical mechanisms involved in river meandering by
comparing some existing linear models and extensions thereof. Such models are …

Geomorphology is concerned with the shaping of Earth's surface. A major contributing
mechanism is the interaction of natural fluids with the erodible surface of Earth, which is …

In the last few decades cooperation among fluid dynamicists and geomorphologists has
allowed the construction of a rational framework for the quantitative understanding of several …

Various phases of progress and differing approaches to research on river meandering are
identified. Since early quantification of equilibrium relations of meander morphology to …

Flow in meandering bends is characterized by the formation of a large cross‐sectional
central‐region circulation cell. The width‐to‐depth ratio is one of the most important …

Most morphodynamic models of river meandering assume spatially constant width;
depending on the intensity of spatial width variations, different meandering styles actually …

In this work we have investigated the equilibrium configurations of a Y‐shaped fluvial
bifurcation through a laboratory analysis. Three series of experimental runs have been …

We report on a multidecadal analysis of alternate bar dynamics in a 41.7 km reach of the
Alpine Rhine River, which represents an almost unique example of a regulated river with …

We study the numerical approximation of the two-dimensional morphodynamic model
governed by the shallow water and Exner equations to simulate reach-scale two …

Bend instability is the process whereby perturbations of the planform distribution of a
channel relative to a straight configuration may grow, driven by erosion at concave banks …
