Abstract

Fluvial instabilities originate from an interplay between the carrier fluid and the erodible loose boundary at their interface, manifesting a variety of sedimentary architectures with length scales spanning from a few millimeters to hundreds of meters. This review sheds light on the current state-of-the-science of the subject, explaining the fluvial instabilities from three broad perspectives. They are micro-scale, meso-scale, and macro-scale instabilities. The interactions between the near-bed hydrodynamics and the sediment dynamics in generating various kinds of instabilities, including their natures and driving mechanisms, are thoroughly appraised in the light of laboratory experimental results, field observations, and theoretical backgrounds. Besides, this review addresses the current challenges, delineating key points as a future research scope. © 2020 Author(s).
