Ship transport produces a special type of bank waves, which have a specific effect on the boundaries of water bodies other than that of the wind-induced waves. In addition, the extent of frozen-bank erosion at a bend of river channel is determined by the entering flow velocity, which can increase in winter because of channel constriction due to freezing or ice jams and gorges. The accompanying vortices have a considerable effect on the flow velocity pattern. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved.
