Self widening by lateral erosion in gravel bed rivers

Lateral erosion in gravel bed rivers In this project the influence of relevant parameters, i.e. flow discharge, riverbed slope, sediment supply, grain size distribution and initial river width will be studied. These parameters will be systematically varied in order to describe the evolution of lateral erosion over time and space by means of empirical relations derived from the parameters under consideration.
