Bend Oscillation of the Padma River The Padma River is a very dynamic river and it has meandering bend. The bend development and bend oscillation is prominent in this river. However, it is essential to assess the type of the channel whether it is stable or actively meandering channel. Besides, time-series satellite images analysis would…
Bend Development Process Meanders are the result of erosion-deposition processes tending toward the most stable form in which the variability of certain essential properties is minimized and this minimization involves the adjustment of the planimetric geometry and the hydraulic factors of depth, velocity, and local slope. Bend development process is very active in the major…
