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

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 …

Many models of river meander migration rely upon a simple formalism, whereby the eroding
bank is cut back at a rate that is dictated by the flow, and the depositing bank then migrates …

Rivers are the great shapers of terrestrial landscapes. Very few points on Earth above sea
level do not lie within a drainage basin. Even points distant from the nearest channel are …

The rate of migration, calculated by numerical models of river meandering, is commonly
based on a method that relates the rate of migration to near-bank excess velocity multiplied …

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

Despite the rapid evolution of computational power, simulation of meander dynamics by
means of reduced and computationally less expensive models remains practically relevant …

Predicting spatial and temporal variations in bank erosion due to extreme floods presents a
long‐standing challenge in geomorphology. We develop two methodologies for rapid …

Abstract Analysis of bend‐scale meandering river dynamics is a problem of theoretical and
practical interest. This work introduces a method for extracting and analyzing the history of …

Insight is provided in hydrodynamic processes governing the velocity redistribution in sharp
river bends based on simulations of three recent experiments by means of Blanckaert and …
