Abstract: An existing hydraulic model is modified to predict stage-discharge curves for channels with nonuniform cross sections, sand and gravel-bed materials, and flexible or nonflexible riparian vegetation. The model is based on ...

Abstract: Databases describing the dimensions of stable and adjusting river channels are necessary to calibrate and verify morphological models. However, existing databases do not provide quantitative descriptions of the strength ...

Abstract: Many flood-control channels are subjected to expensive and environmentally damaging maintenance practices to control vegetation growth in attempts to preserve flood capacity. However, such maintenance regimes are often ...

Abstract: Many existing morphological models are limited by their inability to account for changing channel width through time. In this and a companion paper, the development and testing of a numerical model of river widening are ...

Abstract: The ability to predict the stability of eroding riverbanks is a prerequisite for modeling alluvial channel width adjustments and a requirement for predicting bank-erosion rates and sediment yield associated with bank ...

Abstract: Attempts to include river bank erosion predictors within morphological models are becoming increasingly common, but uncertainty surrounds the procedures used to couple bed deformation and bank erosion submodels in a way ...

Abstract: In this paper the numerical model presented in the companion paper is tested and applied. Assessment of model accuracy was based on two approaches. First, predictions of evolution of a 13.5 km reach of the South Fork of ...
