Abstract

Channel braiding (separation of river flow into branches) is shown to take place at several structural levels: point, middle-bar, insular (channel), floodplain–channel, and floodplain. Full classification of channel braiding cases is given. The types of braiding are determined that form morphologically homogeneous segments and govern the channel regime of rivers and those that have been formed by single or secondary forms and forms of the 2nd–3rd order, which hamper channel distribution and complicate its morphology. The results obtained in the study include relationships between the types and the structural levels of braiding; the morphological diversity of each type of braiding; their possible combinations; the occurrence in the mountain, semimountain, and lowland rivers; large, medium, and small rivers; under free and limited conditions of channel deformation development (in wide-floodplain and incised channels), in rivers with other morphodynamic types of channel (meandering or relatively linear).

通道编织的结构水平和形态动力学分类

摘要

航道编织（将河水分成支流）显示在几个结构级别上发生：点，中间杆，岛（河道），洪泛河道和洪泛区。给出了通道编织情况的完整分类。确定的编织类型可以形成形态上均一的部分，并控制河流的河道形态，以及那些由单一或次级形式以及二阶至三阶形式形成的河道，它们阻碍了河道的分布并使河道的形态复杂化。在研究中获得的结果包括编织类型和结构水平之间的关系。每种编织的形态多样性；它们的可能组合；发生在山区，半山地和低地河流中；大，中，小河流；
