Recent development of fluvial facies models has been due to improved description of
natural river and floodplain processes and deposits using:(1) ground-penetrating radar …

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

Rivers and Floodplains is concerned with the origin, geometry, water flow, sediment
transport, erosion and deposition associated with modern alluvial rivers and floodplains …

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 …

Rivers are self-formed features which develop as a result of bed and bank erodibility. The
ability to predict such development is then strictly dependent on the capability of modelling …

Laboratory experiments have been carried out in a large laboratory flume using a nearly
uniform sand and under controlled steady flow conditions such as to ensure the …

In the paper we review some recent work on the mechanics of formation and development of
river bars. The emphasis is placed on the instability process which leads to the spontaneous …

Managing river bar formation in alluvial channels remains a challenging issue related to the
need to free intakes, improve navigation and optimise river restoration works. This work …

Experiments carried out under flat smooth bed condition in a periodic, asymmetric, Kinoshita
meandering channel showed that bend skewness controls the three‐dimensional mean flow …

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 …
