Abstract
River network morphology not only reflects the structure of river stream but also has great effects on hydrological process, soil erosion, river evolution, and watershed topography. Here we propose and define a new sequence of self-similar networks and corresponding parameters for the generated Tokunaga network. We also discuss the topological and numerical characteristics of self-similar networks with different iteration rules by utilizing links and fractal dimension. Application results indicate that the proposed method could be used to generate river network, which is much consistent with natural river network. The proposed parameter λ could well reflect the river network morphology.
