Statement: A meandering river created by a tank experiment
Abstract: This video shows the elevation of the bed, when a meandering rivers migrates in the flume. This experiment is described in Van Dijk et al., 2012.
Theory
Meandering rivers are ubiquitous in nature, but have been difficult to simulate in flumes.
The snake-like pattern found in meandering rivers occurs as meanders migrate as the outer bank of a river erodes sediment, and the inner curve of a river receives deposits of sediment.
