title = "Simulation of meandering channel evolution with an analytical model",
abstract = "Bank retreat rate, the receding rate of bank top-lines through basal erosion and bank failure, was calculated based on the analysis of bank stability and sediment mass conservation near banks. This study indicated that the gradient of sediment transport rate in the longitudinal direction and the strength of secondary flow determined the rate of bank retreat. An analytical model was developed based on this result and applied to simulating the evolution of sine-generated meandering channels. Not like the conventional methods which assumed that the rate of bank retreat was proportional to the magnitude of excessive near-bank velocity or shear stress, this approach in simulating bank retreat and meandering channel evolution has advantages by taking into account the gradient of longitudinal velocity and the strength of secondary flow, and will avoid the estimation of the erodibility coefficient in traditional bank erosion models.",
