Abstract: In alluvial river bends pronounced grain sorting is observed. This phenomenon is caused by the secondary f1ow, the s1oping bottom and the spatial variation of the transport capac1-ty in a bend. In this paper a mathematical model of the physicalprocesses involved is presented together with some results.
