    "abstract": "Experiments on streams of water flowing down a rigid substrate have been\nperformed for various plate inclinations and flow rates, and we focused on the\nregime of stationary meanders. The outcome is that (i) the flow is highly\nhysteretic : the shape of the meanders varies with flow rate only for\nincreasing flow rates, and the straight rivulet regime does not appear for\ndecreasing flow rate. (ii) A simple force balance, including inertia, capillary\nforces, and also hysteresis of wetting, accounts well for the experimental\ninstability threshold flow rate and for the final radius of curvature of the\nmeanders.",
