Defining the length parameter in river bifurcation models: a theoretical approach

M Redolfi - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
One‐dimensional models for river bifurcations rely on a nodal point relation that determines
the distribution of sediments between the downstream branches. The most widely‐adopted …

Viewing second-order phase transitions as a metaphor for river bifurcations

N Ragno - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023 - cambridge.org
The Earth's landscape hosts a variety of patterns resulting from the interaction between a
sediment-carrying fluid and an erodible boundary. Here, the morphodynamics of river …

The effect of emergent vegetation on flow, bedload transport, and bed morphology in a diffluence-confluence unit on a meandering channel

X Liu, S Wang, B Zhang, X Wu, E Huang, M Luo - Journal of Hydrology, 2024 - Elsevier
A diffluence-confluence unit on a meandering channel, coupled with the broadening of the
divergence zone and meander circulation, promotes sediment deposition on the convex …

Exploring the influence of vegetated mid-channel bar on flow and turbulence in bifurcated channels: An experimental approach

KK Nandi, R Kakati, S Dutta, KK Khatua - Advances in Water Resources, 2024 - Elsevier
The evolution of fluvial systems is greatly impacted by mid-channel bars, a typical
morphodynamic process in natural rivers. Sometimes, the growth of vegetation over these …

The influence of the development of dunes on the stability of bifurcations in sand‐bed rivers

Y Jing, J Qin - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Channel bifurcations are common features observed in fluvial landforms from upstream
gravel‐bed rivers to downstream deltas. Extensive research has been carried out to study …
