Universal Thesis of Meanders
Abstract
Takeo R.M. Nakagawa
Proposed is universal thesis of meanders:In any flow, the main thread of flow that is locus of the fastest fluid particle in each the cross-section, governs the whole meandering of flow. The main thread of flow plays the critical role in meanders of flow in such a way that if there is any disturbance the main thread of flow as well as the flow itself meandersunder the condition that the system of the surrounding fluid particles including boundaries isunstable. Balance between the disturbing force and the restoring force maintains the meandering of flow.
