1. To follow a winding and turning course: Streams tend to meander through level land. 2. To move aimlessly and idly without fixed direction: vagabonds meandering through life. See Synonyms at wander. 3. To speak or write in sustained fashion on a number of loosely connected topics. 4. To...
Build-outs result as the stream is diverted around sediment building out into the channel at the confluence of tributaries. Erosion of the opposite bank eventually leads to the formation of a meander. Combinations of the two mechanisms can also occur where a resistant bank is present opposite ...
a.the variation of the index of refraction of a transparent substance, as glass, with the wavelength of light. b.the separation of white or compound light into its respective colors, as in the formation of a spectrum by a prism.
meander-generating process of Helminthorhaphe based on the bilateral phobo-thigmotactic robot car model reveals that the tempo and hierarchy of bilateral movement differentiation contribute to the formation of primary terminal U-turn at the meander tip, as well as lower-level meander-course ...
German to Spanish translation of Einstein's work on the formation of meanders in rivers In 1926 Albert Einstein gave a clear explanation of the physical processes involved in the meander formation and evolution in open channels (Einstein, 1926... EM Padilla,BL Emberger,M Diez-Minguito 被引量...
The formation of point bars occurs in distinct stages. An initial point bar platform composed mainly of coarse sediment is formed adjacent to the convex bank of a migrating meander bend, and is the base on which develops a single scroll bar of fine traction and suspended load. With continued...
Large-scale meanders are formed by high discharges with a significant content of bed-load in convective regimes characterized by perturbations propagating downstream. However, large meanders can also be formed in low-energy rivers e.g. owing to the formation of faults. Bends with cutoffs and ...

[1] Singular vector analysis is applied to the formation of the Kuroshio large meander south of Japan. We use a simulation run of an ocean general circulation model (OGCM), in which a large meander occurs, as the background state. Singular vectors are calculated by the Lanczos method in wh...
meander, thread, wind, wander, weave - to move or cause to move in a sinuous, spiral, or circular course; "the river winds through the hills"; "the path meanders through the vineyards"; "sometimes, the gout wanders through the entire body" ...
