Classical models developed for ancient fluvial point bars are based on the assumption that
meander bends invariably increase their radius as meander-bend apices migrate in a …

Bends and confluences are often observed in rivers, and one of the phenomena that
characterize flows in open channel bends and confluences is secondary current. Instead of …

This paper, written to mark the 60th anniversary of the Journal of Hydraulic Engineering,
focuses on the nature of meandering flow and its coupling to bed and bank deformation. An …

Sinuous channels with movable banks were examined for flow patterns in laboratory
experiments. The velocity, Turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) budget, TKE flux, and bursting …

The 3D information of a secondary flow evolved in curved or confluent channels, which is
usually lost in conventional shallow water models due to the depth-averaging process, can …

River discharge is an important variable to measure in order to predict droughts and flood
occurrences. Once the cross-sectional geometry of the river is known, discharge can be …

This study investigates the impact of flow structure of different discharges on meander point
bar morphology. We carried out mobile and terrestrial laser scanning campaigns before and …

There is a paucity of data and insight in the mechanisms of, and controls on flow separation
and recirculation at natural sharply‐curved river bends. Herein we report on successful …

Vegetation can effectively prevent soil loss and play an important role in soil and water
conservation. Accurate estimation of hydraulic parameters is critical for soil erosion models …

This study assesses hydrodynamic and morphodynamic model sensitivity and functionality
in a curved channel. The sensitivity of a depth‐averaged model to user‐defined parameters …
