Question

What are the factors controlling process of meandering?

Answer 1

Answer:

Many factors control the process of meandering such as:

1- Depth,  

2- Flow velocity

3- Width

4- Plain shapes

These factors also vary according to the sediment type, sediment load, slope of the valley, bedload, bed competence, operation of continuity and the equation of meandering.  

If all of these factors are measures perfectly, they can easily define the 3-dimensional geometry of the channels.
