 abstract = { Meandc1ing rivers generale complex sedimenlary architectures within fluvial environmenls. l ndeed, these kinds of rivers are characterizcd by a high sinuosity tha! implies a high power of migration and extensive motions of their bends. This behaviour may p1'Ovide oxbow lakes by neck cutoffs, when floods occur. This complexity makes the simulation of sueIL deposition process difficult. However, several models have been ]J1'Oposcd ta gencl'ale such environmenls. But these models are always unconditional and, in the scope of reservoir characterization, il may be inlercsting to make the generaled shapcs fit sorne data, such as well data. In this paper, a post-processing is p1·oposed to generate a meandering channel Irom an arbitrary channel and 50 that it rcmains located at given control points. We will see how to incorporate this pmcess into a stochastic procedure and in which case it may be interesting to simulate such objects. },
