Stochastic erosion in the composite banks of alluvial river bends

Abstract

The present research study is focused to find out the dominated bank erosion processes prevailing in the braided Brahmaputra river by conducting in situ hydrodynamic and morphological observations Better understanding of these bank erosion mechanisms is essential for designing a cost effective bank protection system s which is one of major challenging tasks for river engineers River bank erosion occurs mainly due to three processes fluvial entrainment subaerial erosion and mass failure due
