River Channel Forms in Relation to Bank Steepness: A Theoretical Investigation Using a Variational Analytical Method

Riverbanks vary considerably in anti-scourability and consequently take various profiles. By using an isosceles trapezoid as the generalized form of river channel cross-sections and then incorporating the effects of bank angle into the variational analytical approach developed by Huang and Nanson (2...
