Channel patterns: Braided, anabranching, and single-thread

A new channel pattern classification is presented based on theoretically derived channel pattern discriminant functions. The thresholds are formulated as power laws that relate the critical slope associated with a change in channel pattern to dimensionless discharge and relative bank strength. One t...
