Abstract: In several prediction methods for river bottom morpho-logy the secondary flow is based on the curvature effect oniy, thus ignoring the spatial inhomogeneity of the turbulence. Inthis paper it is shown that this approach is doubtful, also forthose cases where the relative curvature is small.
