Abstract / Description of output

 Analysis of chute cutoff formation in meandering rivers, focusing in the hydraulic patterns inside the main channel for detection possible triggers.
 Use of a linear mathematical model for meandering rivers accounting for the effects of both curvature and width variation.
 Application to a chute cutoff occurred in the Chixoy River, Guatemala.
