We develop a new method for analysis of meandering channels based on planform sinuosity. This analysis objectively identifies three channel reach lengths based on sinuosity measured at those lengths: the length of typical, simple bends; the length of long, often compound bends; and the length of several bends in sequence that often evolve from compound bends to form multi-bend loops. These leng...

The purpose of this study is interested in the semi-theoretical analysis hydraulic jump evolving a rectangular straight compound channel with rough major bed. A functional relationship, non-dimensional terms, linking together different characteristics projection, obtained.

Vegetation is of great importance in hydraulic engineering as it can affect the flow structures compound channels many ways, including velocity profiles, momentum exchange, and shear stress distributions. This complex structure vegetated has attracted more research interests. However, most previous studies have been focusing on fully-covered channels, there are little with partially floodplain....
