Abstract: Most analytical models of the flow and bed topography in sinuous channels include the assumption that the secondary flow is locally adapted to channel curvature. Recently, Kitanidis and Kennedy (1984) and Ikeda and Nishimura ...

Abstract: An analytical model for calculating the lateral distribution of the depthaveraged primary flow velocity in meandering rivers is presented. A small perturbation approach is used to linearize the governing equations. The ...
