The sinuosity of a meandering stream has a tendency to approach a critical state at which the opposing forces which create and cut off meanders interact in such a way that sinuosity fluctuates around a constant mean, regardless of the original conditions.

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.

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 ).

Like the Victorian writers she recalls, Byatt has a bent for fairy tales-- fertile ground for lovers of both artifice and ethics, for storytellers who happen to be interested in what one of her characters calls the " ambages and sinuosities " of their craft.

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 ( Wynn et al . 2007 ) and 1.15 ( Clark et al ., 1992; Clark and Pickering, 1996 ).

Also, I am slightly confused about the idea of Sinuosity-is this the same as Meander, and if part of the Meander of the River is referred to as straight, even though the same part has high Sinuosity ( over 1.5 ), what does this mean.

It is also possible to distinguish the case where the stream flowing on the line could not physically travel the distance between the ends : in some hydraulic studies, this leads to assign a sinuosity value of 1 for a torrent flowing over rocky bedrock along a horizontal rectilinear projection, even if the slope angle varies.

It has been claimed that river shapes are governed by a self-organizing system that causes their average sinuosity ( measured in terms of the source-to-mouth distance, not channel length ) to be, but this has not been borne out by later studies, which found an average value less than 2.
