"A river should have its own sinuosity," Dr. Jackman said.

Like the sight of a spider spinning a delicate web or a shark's sinuosity, it distilled the power of grace that contradicts negative expectations.

From "One Toss of the Dice": The lucid and lordly aigrette of vertigoon the invisible browscintillatesthen shadowsa delicate dark formuprightin its sea siren's sinuosity time enough to slapwith impatient terminal scurf forked a rock.

Calculation of sinuosity for an oscillating curve. Laces on mountain road with high sinuosity at Luz Ardiden Rio Cauto at Guamo Embarcadero, Cuba, is not taking the shortest path downslope. Therefore, its sinuosity index is > 1. Two ski tracks with different degrees of sinuosity on the same slope Sinuosity, sinuosity index, or sinuosity coefficient of a continuously differentiable curve having at least one inflection point is the ratio of the curvilinear length (along the curve) and the Euclidean distance (straight line) between the end points of the curve.

In most cases, the wandering and changes in sinuosity is as a result of external forces. As a result of this, PJeff Peakall advocates the avoidance of the term meandering to describe this sinuosity, a phrase used to describe similar sinuosity observed in terrestrial fluvial systems. There seems to be a potential consensus that truly sinuous channel can be defined as one that displays a minimum average sinuosity of between 1.2 and 1.15. Difficulty with rigorous application of these values is that relatively straight channels may locally exceed them and some sinuous channels may display peak sinuosity values well in excess.

Mill Creek has low sinuosity, and has a gently sloping terrain.

The curve must be continuous (no jump) between the two ends. The sinuosity value is really significant when the line is continuously differentiable (no angular point). The distance between both ends can also be evaluated by a plurality of segments according to a broken line passing through the successive inflection points (sinuosity of order 2). The calculation of the sinuosity is valid in a 3-dimensional space (e.g.

Barbour, J.R., 2008. The origin and significance of sinuosity along incising bedrock rivers. Doctoral dissertation, New York: New York, Columbia University. 172 pp.

It is expressed as the ratio of the distance between two distant points in a river following the middle-of-the-river course of the river as compared with the straight distance between those points. Three conventional categorizations of rivers or their reaches exist. Meandering rivers a sinuosity value/ratio of greater than 1.5. A sinuosity value of less than 1.1 is a “straight” river.

Sinuosity in submarine channels is a feature regularly observed on seismic maps. It can vary between occasional low amplitude bends to highly sinuous, densely looping channels. Channel sinuosity results in significant migration lateral and affects continuity of facies associated with both channel sediments and surrounding deep water sediments. Although it is not always clear how these sinuosities evolve, they typically do not result from a random wandering.

Straight channels (sinuosity <1.3) are relatively rare in natural systems due to the fact that sediment and flow are rarely distributed evenly across a landscape. Irregularities in the deposition and erosion of sediments leads to the formation of alternate bars that are on opposite sides of the channel in succession. Alternating bar sequences result in flow to be directed in a sinuous pattern, leading to the formation of sinuous channels (sinuosity of 1.3-1.5).

The creek's channel at this location has a low sinuosity of 1.1 and an entrenchment ratio of 16.0. A 440-foot section of Marsh Creek downstream of Silo Road has a bankfull depth of and a bankfull width of . This gives it a much higher width to depth ratio than the section further upstream: 16.5 to 22.5. Like the upper segment, the channel at this location has a sinuosity of 1.1, but its entrenchment ratio is much lower at 2.0 to 4.3.

Between these values, a river is described as sinuous which describes those in a transitory state between the two states. Braided rivers do not follow this same convention. Meandering rivers trend in the direction of increasing sinuosity.

Very fine crowded axial striae, corresponding with the sinuosity of the outer lip, cross the whole surface except the primary spirals. Verco, J.C. 1909. Notes on South Australian marine Mollusca with descriptions of new species. Part XII.

Linton Falls has high sinuosity, frequent terraces, sloping terrains and is surrounded by thick forests, all of which makes it impossible to see in its entirety from a single view point. Past the Lower Linton Falls, the trek upstream is unmarked and mostly inaccessible.

United States. Different channel patterns result from differences in bankfull discharge, gradient, sediment supply, and bank material. Channel patterns can be described based on their level of sinuosity, which is the ratio of the channel length measured along its center to the straight line distance measured down the valley axis.

The elevation near the mouth of Laurel Run is above sea level. The elevation of the stream's source is between above sea level. A morphologic site known as the Laurel Run Sinuosity occurs in the watershed of Laurel Run in Archbald. Additionally, the Francis Cawley Dam is in the steam's watershed.

Channels and Valley Networks in Mars, H.H. Kieffer et al. Eds.; University of Arizona Press: Tucson, 493-522. and levee deposits, which are always associated with channels not valleys. Except for its small width and general sinuosity, Enipeus Vallis has characteristics resembling the immense Martian outflow channels,Carr, M.H. (2006).

Indicators that make the human impact measurable and quantitatively assessable are: artificial water surface ratio, artificial water surface density ratio, disruption of longitudinal connectivity ratio, artificial river ratio, sinuosity of artificial cutoff, channelization ratio, artificial levee ratio, road along river ratio, artificial sediment transport ratio and the integrated river structure impact index.

Some research has been done to show importance. Cutoffs have been shown to limit the age of a river meander and thus how large that meander can get, without which in areas of extreme sinuosity and low gradients means very long, slightly slowed, sections of rivers intensifying local flood risk. Meander cutoffs influence the formation of a river’s floodplain and continue to do so as the river evolves. Cutoffs can affect the way that other river bends adjacent evolve over time, increasing their height of flooding and the direct momentum of the water which can then create further cutoffs and affect other bends further downstream throughout the river. Meander cutoffs directly reduce and tend to indirectly reduce a river’s sinuosity, thus straightening out a river’s channel.

As a result the 100-year-floodplain is wider than elsewhere along the stream in both areas. While the Beech Ridge unit's floodplain boundary does not include any houses, there are three within it along Route 42 just north of West Kill, making effective flood control here important. The authors of the stream management plan speculate that the kill's lower than expected sinuosity as it flows out of the Spruceton Valley may be the result not of flooding but of an attempt to divert the stream further north and make more of the alluvial land to its south available for farming. While this has not increased the flood risk there, it has made the stream compensate with increased sinuosity further downstream.

Between 20th and 22nd Street, near McKinley Square, the street has seven sharp turns. This has led the street to be dubbed the crookedest in the world in competition with the better-known Lombard Street (Vermont, while steeper than Lombard, has fewer turns). In an episode of Fact or Fiction on the Travel Channel, Jayms Ramirez measured the sinuosity of Lombard and Vermont streets and found that Vermont is indeed more crooked (with a sinuosity of 1.56 versus 1.2 for Lombard Street).. This is also backed up by various members of San Francisco's Department of Public Works on California's Gold episode "Crookedest Street" (#13011). Unlike the famous block of Lombard Street, which is paved with red brick, Vermont Street is paved with concrete.

Braided channels are characterized by multiple, active streams within a broad, low sinuosity channel. The smaller strands of streams diverge around sediment bars and then converge in a braiding pattern. Braided channels are dynamic, with strands moving within the channel. Braided channels are caused by sediment loads that exceed the capacity of stream transport.

This bridge is about by water upstream of the bridge Bordeleau, or about in a direct line. The railway arrived in Saint-Tite in 1884. 12\. Du Moulin Street Bridge (Mill Street Bridge) in the village of Saint-Tite. This bridge is about by water from the railway bridge, due to the sinuosity of the river (or 1.5 kilometres in a direct line).

This lateral migration only style of sinuosity is believed to be somewhat rare in occurrence within turbidite systems. Vertical migration is exhibited in submarine channels systems in the form of channel stacking. As flows in channels subside, channels are infilled with sediment. When the flow is re-initiated, there is then a slight shift laterally in the flow thalweg causing a displaced incision.

The outer lip is thick, but not varicose, nor dentate within, flexuous, with a well-marked posterior anal sinus near (but not reaching) the suture, and an anterior constriction or sinuosity. The siphonal canal is short, curved and usually narrow. Some species show an interrupted pink banding. The animal has tentacles approaching at their bases and eyes near their extremities.

These are inter-spaced with claystones, olive to grey fine-grained sandstone, and reddish-brown to maroon shales. In the overlying Katberg Formation, alluvial fans containing braided low sinuosity river channels comprising mainly coarse-grained sandstone appear. These sandstones form either single and multi-storey channel sandstones and crevasse-splay sandstones. The dominance of sandstones is diagnostic of the Katberg Formation.

The lithology of the deposits which fill these channels and their geometry are typical of low- sinuosity channels. Towards the top of the Camarillas Formation, there is a predominance of deltaic fan deposits with marked marine influence. Nevertheless, Soria (1997) mentioned that she found no facies association whose evolution and geometry suggested a well developed deltaic system.Sánchez Hernández & Benton, 2014, p.

An example of a minor avulsion is known as a meander cutoff, where the high-sinuosity meander bend is abandoned in favour of the high-slope (i.e. Large bending meander has river cut through a straighter course, and the meander has water drain away) This occurs when the ratio between the channel slope and the potential slope after an avulsion is less than about 1/5.

The reserve is in one of the largest estuaries of the South Atlantic, containing about 60 islands. It houses traditional communities with a rich culture. The Sebuí Private Natural Heritage Reserve was created by ordnance on 25 November 1999, modified on 3 February 2000. The name "Sebuí" comes from the Guarani language word for "earthworm", referring to the creatures that live there and to the sinuosity of one of the rivers.

In terms of sinuosity, Mayall hows that this vertical migration occurs on the outward sides of bends reinforcing any pre- existing curvature. Aggradational channels commonly form where the slope is “below grade.” This results in the deposition of broad, amalgamated and highly sand rich channels which are significantly affected by the slope morphology. The channel width versus slope relationship is control by the Froude number of flows along the channel.

River meandering course Rivers flow downhill with their power derived from gravity. The direction can involve all directions of the compass and can be a complex meandering path. Rivers flowing downhill, from river source to river mouth, do not necessarily take the shortest path. For alluvial streams, straight and braided rivers have very low sinuosity and flow directly down hill, while meandering rivers flow from side to side across a valley.

An iron bridge was built on Du Moulin Street in 1923 and replaced in 1984 by the current bridge. 13\. Bridge of Le Bourdais Street (Road 153) in Saint-Tite. This bridge is about upstream by water from Du Moulin Street Bridge, due to the sinuosity of the river (or 1 kilometre in a direct line). 14\. Road of North Upper Lake bridge (Haut du Lac Nord), at the North-West of Saint-Tite village.

The Berici Hills stand out, south of Vicenza, with the shape of a parallelogram, whose major axis is oriented towards the Northeast. It is about , and with a total area of about 165 km². The profile is evenly curved, compact and not particularly high on the level of the plain. The edges are jagged enough on each side, with alternating indentations and sinuosity or with simple engravings on the sides, the "scaranti".

The value of Manning’s n is affected by many variables. Factors like suspended load, sediment grain size, presence of bedrock or boulders in the stream channel, variations in channel width and depth, and overall sinuosity of the stream channel can all affect Manning’s n value. Biological factors have the greatest overall effect on Manning’s n; bank stabilization by vegetation, height of grass and brush across a floodplain, and stumps and logs creating natural dams are the main observable influences.

Meandering channels are more sinuous (>1.5 sinuosity) than straight or sinuous channels, and are defined by the meander wavelength morphological unit. The meander wavelength is the distance from the apex of one bend to the next on the same side of the channel. Meandering channels wavelength are described in section 1.2 Geomorphic Units. Meandering channels are widespread in current times, but no geomorphic evidence of their existence before the evolution of land plants has been found.

The surface is sculptured only by incremental lines, faint spiral lines, a slight depression of the anal fasciole, and irregular, feeble, broken, short elevated lines which are scattered over the surface and usually directed at right angles to the incremental lines. The aperture is short and narrow, with a short and wide siphonal canal. The outer lip shows a deep anal sinuosity, leaving a slightly depressed fasciole behind it. The anterior part of the outer lip is much produced and rounded, thin and simple.

The Gauckler–Manning coefficient, often denoted as , is an empirically derived coefficient, which is dependent on many factors, including surface roughness and sinuosity. When field inspection is not possible, the best method to determine is to use photographs of river channels where has been determined using Gauckler–Manning's formula. In natural streams, values vary greatly along its reach, and will even vary in a given reach of channel with different stages of flow. Most research shows that will decrease with stage, at least up to bank-full.

The road from St Georges Road (Lac-aux- Sables) ends between the two bridges. This area is designated Pee-Wee. • Road Bridge on Route 153 (chemin Saint-Charles), located at the northern end of the village of Hervey-Jonction (near golf course) or 5.5 km by water from the mouth (or 4 km in a direct line, because the sinuosity of the river Tawachiche). This bridge is located upstream of a large drop, which is located near the site of the second station-Hervey-Jonction.

Form- based restoration projects can be carried out at various scales, including the reach scale. They can include measures such as the installation of in-stream structures, bank stabilization and more significant channel reconfiguration efforts. Reconfiguration work may focus on channel shape (in terms of sinuosity and meander characteristics), cross-section or channel profile (slope along the channel bed). These alterations affect the dissipation of energy through a channel, which impacts flow velocity and turbulence, water- surface elevations, sediment transport, and scour, among other characteristics.

The Guichón Formation comprises mainly pink-greyish to reddish sandstones, which contain moderate to well-sorted, subrounded, fine to medium- sized grains in a pelitic matrix. These sandstones (which compositionally are feldspathic wackes) are either massive or may instead exhibit parallel lamination, cross-lamination and graded bedding. These lithologies were deposited in southwest-trending alluvial–fluvial systems comprising low- sinuosity channels traversing through sandy plains. Subordinate to the already mentioned sandstones are conglomeratic and pelitic lithologies, interpreted as channel-fill and overbank deposits, respectively.

The earliest style was characterised by windows resembling a lancet "in its length, breadth, and principal proportions". These windows might be single, or in groups of two, three, five, or seven. This style he termed the "Lancet Period".. During the next period, tracery appeared in the windows, and originally consisted of simple geometric forms, in particular the circle. This period he called the "Geometrical Period".. Later the tracery became more complex, including the ogee curve; the characteristic feature being the "sinuosity of form" in the windows and elsewhere.

Within the main central England basin (Staffordshire and Cheshire), the deposits are dominated by pebbly sandstones and conglomerates (Chester Pebble Beds, Wilmslow and Wildmoor Sandstones), which have been interpreted as the deposits of a fluvial system running within well-confined channels. The Sherwood Sandstone Group comprises a series of conglomerates, coarse sandstones and mudstones. The Chester pebble beds to the south of Alderley represent material deposited in alluvial fan or braided river system. The finer sediments of the Wilmslow and Helsby Sandstone to the west of Alderley represent alluvial deposits of low sinuosity channels.

The sinuosity of submarine channels is a characteristic instantly recognizable as being shared with fluvial systems. In recent years there are increasingly mixed opinions in academic literature as to how far they are analogous to each other with some feeling that such notions of similarity should not hold. The best description is that the two are similar in some ways but more variable and complex in other. This applies to both the geometry of morphological features, the processes involved in forming them as well as the character of the deposits formed.

Level II characterizes stream type by using numbers 1 - 6, in addition to letters A - G, to include the assessments of the channel cross-section, longitudinal profile, and plan-form pattern. Cross-section measurements include a streams entrenchment ratio, width/depth ratio, and dominant substrate. The longitudinal and plan-form measurements consist of slope, stream bed features, sinuosity, and meander width ratio. Level II is a quantitative morphological assessment of the stream reach which provides greater detail from data collected in the field for the implementation into land management decisions.

Simone was doubtlessly apprenticed from an early age, as would have been the normal practice. Among his first documented works is the Maestà of 1315 in the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena. A copy of the work, executed shortly thereafter by Lippo Memmi in San Gimignano, testifies to the enduring influence Simone's prototypes would have on other artists throughout the 14th century. Perpetuating the Sienese tradition, Simone's style contrasted with the sobriety and monumentality of Florentine art, and is noted for its soft, stylized, decorative features, sinuosity of line, and courtly elegance.

Animation of the formation of an oxbow lake A meander cutoff, the natural form of a cutting or cut in a river occurs when a pronounced meander (hook) in a river is breached by a flow that connects the two closest parts of the hook to form a new channel, a full loop. The steeper drop in gradient (slope) causes the river flow gradually to abandon the meander which will silt up with sediment from deposition. Cutoffs are a natural part of the evolution of a meandering river. Rivers form meanders as they flow laterally downstream, see sinuosity.

The Trout Creek Stream Restoration and Wildlife Enhancement Project in South Lake Tahoe was completed in 2001. Over 3000 m of channel were reconstructed with enhanced sinuosity, a raised channel elevation, reduced slope, and an overall increase in channel length. The purpose was to improve stream habitat, raise the water table and to allow for increased hydrologic connectivity between the stream channel and the floodplain. Trout Creek is being studied by the U. S. Forest Service for the effectiveness of the stream restoration effectiveness, particularly total and fine sediment load reductions with a final report due in 2012.

The latter constitutes the elements between the two wings of the building and is embellished with a pronounced oriel window with polychrome glazing which exhibits a mixture of wrought iron. The motifs of twisting lines are also evident in an elegant glass aedicule overlooking the garden terrace, which seems to reference the Parisian sinuosity of Hector Guimard's architecture.Architect of the famous canopies of the Paris Métro. The work of Fenoglio, however, seems refreshingly unaffected by the schools of French and Belgian Art Nouveau, not only for the careful stylistic coherence but also the ambition to give the building an international connotation.

The Cistecephalus Assemblage Zone is located in the lower portion of the Teekloof Formation west of 24°E, in the upper Middleton Formation and lower Balfour Formation east of 24°E. These formations all fall within the Adelaide Subgroup of the Beaufort Group, sediments of which were formed in a large retroarc foreland basin in southwestern Gondwana. The sedimentary rocks are mainly sandstone, mudrock layers containing mudstone, siltstone, and fine sandstone. The sandstones are thought to have been deposited in broad alluvial plains where low-sinuosity streams flowed, while the mudrock accumulated on the floodplains that flanked these streams.

Its contact with the underlying Daptocephalus Assemblage Zone marks the Permian-Triassic boundary. The boundary is defined by a change in the sedimentary rock types. The changing rock types across the boundary reveal a change in the fluvial environment, from meandering high sinuosity river channels composed of greenish-grey siltstones and mudstones found in the underlying Daptocephalus Assemblage Zone. From the start of the Palingkloof Member the predominant presence of mudstone and siltstone show that meandering river channels were present, however, in arid and warmer conditions due to change in colour of the rocks to reddish-brown and maroon.

At the same time, a similar commission was issued to Hopkin Davis, as Captain of foot in Choptanck and St. Miles rivers. Wye River, which forms the northern boundary of Talbot County, was named by Edward Lloyd, a Welsh immigrant who took up large tracts of land along its southern shores before the laying out of Talbot County. He named it for the River Wye, noted for its sinuosity, whose source is near that of the River Severn, near a mountain in Wales. He named his homestead Wye House, which was owned by nine generations of Lloyds.

The sinuosity is the ratio between the actual length and the straight-line distance from source to mouth. Faster currents along the outside edges of a river's bends cause more erosion than along the inside edges, thus pushing the bends even farther out, and increasing the overall loopiness of the river. However, that loopiness eventually causes the river to double back on itself in places and "short-circuit", creating an ox-bow lake in the process. The balance between these two opposing factors leads to an average ratio of between the actual length and the direct distance between source and mouth.

Mike Mayall provides the best summary that discusses the causes of sinuosity. Factors involve: flow dynamics such as flow density and flow velocity; and the depth of the current relative to topography; and topographic and morphological controls such; shape channel cross section, slope topography, erosive base at flow onset and the effects of both lateral stacking and lateral accretion. Compared to their terrestrial cousins, the scale of submarine systems observed in seismic sections, aerial photos and rock outcrops are in no way comparable. As expected with this significant difference in scale, the dynamics of turbid current flows within submarine channels are significantly different from fluvial systems.

The speed or velocity of the water flow of the water column can also vary within a system and is subject to chaotic turbulence, though water velocity tends to be highest in the middle part of the stream channel (known as the thalveg). This turbulence results in divergences of flow from the mean downslope flow vector as typified by eddy currents. The mean flow rate vector is based on variability of friction with the bottom or sides of the channel, sinuosity, obstructions, and the incline gradient. In addition, the amount of water input into the system from direct precipitation, snowmelt, and/or groundwater can affect flow rate.

From there, the River Eea runs past Green Bank and through Cartmel and Cark before flowing via Sand Gate Marsh into the estuary of the River Leven at Lenibrick Point, close to Chapel Island. It is now used as a fieldwork study point for the Castle Head Field Studies Centre where students are able to measure variables of the river such as the stream velocity, width, depth, turbidity, pebble roundedness, sinuosity etc. The name may be derived from a plenty of eels gathering in its lower course during high tides ("eea" was a Viking word for eel), or from the Old Cumbrian "ia" (ice), or the Old English "ēa" (a river).see Wiktionary s.v. "ea".

Meandering rivers flow higher and hence with more total flow, pressure and erosion on the outside of their bends due to forming a vortex as in a stirred coffee cup and consequently the river erodes more the outer bank. On the inside bend of a river, the level is lower, secondary flow moves sand and gravel across the river bed creating shallows and point bars, and friction of air and perturbances of the bed act against a higher proportion of the column of water, being shorter, slowing the water to varying degrees. Rivers are commonly described and interpreted by their sinuosity. The term is equally used to describe the actual incidence of and potential tendency of a river to curve or meander over its length.

Planted with cypress trees, a walkway leads to the hexagonal entrance hall, an atrium designed by Christian Dior himself, where the Provençal calade floor has a pattern of compass rose dear to his childhood in Normandy. The south facade is asymmetrical and is in the 1940-50's Provençal style. The chateau is reflected in the 45 meters long ornamental water mirror, also designed by Christian Dior, showing a contrast between the sinuosity of the landscape and the rigor of its straight lines. Completely redesigned, the new layout includes a large staircase with zenital lighting leading to guest rooms for “passing friends”, a succession of reception rooms, including the large salon measuring more than 18 metres long opening onto a terrace overlooking the mirror of water.

In the area where Rillo de Gallo is located, there are important geological s and geomorphological s essential values in the area that have given rise to its proposal as an internationally recognized Geosite. On the one hand, a «fossil forest» of the Permian with numerous specimens in position of life and with volcanoclastic rocks and lacustrine s of the same age associated with it Petrified tree trunk that surfaced at the time of the reforestation of the pine forest Numerous geological formations with remains fossil are also represented Permian and the Triassic of Western Europe, important for their content in macroflora, associations palynological, ichnofauna of vertebrates and facies marinas with Middle Triassic fauna well conserved. In addition, it has been possible to establish the only continuous magnostratigraphic scale for the Permian and Triassic of the Iberian Peninsula. As well as detritic units of the Late Triassic and part of the Middle Triassic, result of a great fluvial system of low sinuosity and bottom charge of gravel or of sand s of this age.
