ABSTRACT THE difficulty of recording spiral motion in curved open (river) channels and of visualizing the secondary currents at a cross-section of a bend, particularly when the stream is
very wide, has led to differing, and sometimes contradictory, conclusions on the behaviour of flow around bends. Indeed, some observations on sand movements around river bends1 seem to
reject the very existence of spiral motion. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access
