River confluence, channel morphology, hydrodynamic

Fluvial systems can be interpreted as a networks of channels and their environment with specific water and sediment transport dynamics. Due to the differences in the water flow, organic and sediment matter transport in each channel, their junctions can create unique zones. These zones have specific conditions, which additionally affect morphological diversity of fluvial system. This review study is mainly focused on description of dynamics and factors which affect formations and occurences of typical morphological attributes in open channel confluences.
