Stream table time lapse with meander cutoff and headcutting
At 1:02 the first meander cutoff occurs with extensive headcutting afterward as the channel tries to lower its gradient. The headcutting is visible as an advancing white line. At 1:39 I excavate halfway thru the area of the next meander cutoff, which finally occurs at 2:18. Tremendous amounts of sediment are eroded/transported after each meander cutoff. This 3 min video represents 90 min of real time. The hybrid sand (mixture of white plastic sand and dark mineral sand) makes erosion, transport, and deposition easier to see.

This river simulator consists of a plastic tray 3.5' l, 1.5' w, and .5' deep filled with approx 100 lbs of hybrid sand (2 parts plastic sand to 3 parts mineral sand) with a fountain pump in a 5 gal bucket reservoir to recirculate the water at about 30 ml/s. The plastic sand has a density roughly half that of the mineral sand. It is must easier to erode, is mostly white in color and moves much f...
