  ABSTRACT: The purpose of this research is to investigate the sinuosity of major rivers in the United States and the world, and to compare them to that predicted by the existing theories. It is shown that the average sinuosity of meandering rivers deviates considerably from what has been reported previously as π. Calculations of the mean value of actual sinuosities of major rivers in the United States and in the World show that this average is very close to 2. Exact models as well as a Monte Carlo simulation for meandering rivers that is based on Gaussian probability distribution function are also presented, and the possibility of composite meandering is discussed.
