Abstract: Abstract Meandering rivers have dynamic evolution characteristics of lateral migration and longitudinal creeping movement, and studies on the migration rate of meandering rivers have both scientific and practical significance for understanding the evolution process. A… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/09715010.2024.2383187
Abstract: ABSTRACT River bends have always drawn attention for their complicated hydraulic, geometric and migration nature. Laboratory as well as field experiments have been carried out to study the geometric behaviour of channel bends. This study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/sed.12656
Abstract: Sediment is sorted in river bends under the influence of gravity that pulls the heavier grains downslope and secondary flow that drags the finer grains upslope. Furthermore, when dunes are present, sediment is also sorted… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.adv4939
Abstract: A primary axiom in geoscience is that the evolution of plants drove global changes in river dynamics. Notably, the apparent sinuosity of rivers, derived from the variance of sediment accretion direction measured in rocks, substantially… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/hydrology12060145
Abstract: River bends and confluences are critical features in fluvial environments where complex flow patterns, including secondary currents, turbulence, and surface changes, strongly influence sediment transport, river morphology, and water quality. The accurate prediction of these… read more here.
