This study focuses on the deformation of curvilinear segments of the channels of rivers flowing in the permafrost, under a combined effect of water flow and thermal erosion. A mathematical model presented in this article consists of three blocks: thermal, hydrodynamic, and deformation. The model has been tested against data of laboratory experiments. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved.
