Sumario:Humanity, for convenience, has been close to rivers as they can provide food and serve as transportation routes between settlements, and even the capacity to generate energy for our consumption. Along the rivers we find meanders, which are of vital importance for geology, geomorphology and hydrology. The study of these geoforms is of special interest when human settlements are located near them. During the last 60 years, an attempt has been made to explain their behaviour in a quantitative way, but assuming homogeneous lithology. This research proposes an approach using a model based on cellular automata to be able to contemplate situations where the lithology is not homogeneous. Additionally, the research proposes mechanisms to cover the different steps needed to develop projects of this type such as the generation of synthetic data, generation of banks as a function of the change in the height of the water sheet, generation of the banks, generation of transects (simulating the generation of meshes), calculations of velocities and of the value of the lateral erosion that can affect the shape of the banks. Although some topics like the generation of orthogonal meshes, the use of unstructured cellular automata, flooding algorithms should be studied in depth, cellular automata are a good option when simulating physical systems of this type.
