![]() The hydraulic conditions of these channels spanned three orders of magnitude of bank full discharge and four orders of magnitude in longitudinal slope. A total of 72 virtual meandering channels were developed from sine-generated curves. ![]() A numerical, three-dimensional hydraulic model was used to simulate boundary shear stress along a wide range of meandering river channels of the type (width and depth) found in nature. The erosion of meandering river banks is of interest to people living near a river and to agencies planning or maintaining infrastructure within or along a river. An improved predictive relationship of how bank shear stress increases with channel curvature is needed for the prediction of river bank erosion and channel migration. ![]() ![]() ![]() As water moves through a meandering river channel, flow velocity and shear stress both vary along the river banks as a result of channel curvature.
