 value of the ratio is the downvalley length or air distance of the stream between two points on it defining the reach.

The sinuosity index plays a part in mathematical descriptions of streams. The index may require elaboration, because the valley may meander as well—i.e., the downvalley length is not identical to the reach. In that case the valley index is the meander ratio of the valley while the channel index is the meander ratio of the channel. The channel sinuosity index is the channel length divided by the valley length and the standard sinuosity index is the channel index divided by the valley index. Distinctions may become even more subtle.[27]

Sinuosity Index has a non-mathematical utility as well. Streams can be placed in categories arranged by it; for example, when the index is between 1 and 1.5 the river is sinuous, but if between 1.5 and 4, then meandering. The index is a measure also of stream velocity and sediment load, those quantities being maximized at an index of 1 (straight).

^Hickin 2003, p. 432. "In the absence of secondary flow, bend flow seeks to conserve angular momentum so that it tends to conform to that of a free vortex with high velocity at the smaller radius of the inner bank and lower velocity at the outer bank where radial acceleration is lower."

 The sinuosity index plays a function in mathematical descriptions of stream. The exponent may require elaboration, because the valley may meander as well — i.e., the downvalley length is not identical to the compass. In that case the valley index is the meander proportion of the valley while the channel index is the meander proportion of the channel. The distribution channel sinuosity exponent is the channel length divided by the valley distance and the standard sinuosity index is the channel exponent divided by the valley exponent. Distinctions may become even more subtle.[27 ]
