In order to study and understand the characteristics of transport and depositions of floating objects in real rivers, Large Eddy Simulation (LES) method of real river flows with complex bathymetry, the riparian vegetation and the floating objects has been developed and applied to a meandering river in Perak, Malaysia. The movement and accumulation of floating objects are different for different sizes and the shapes of the objects. The vegetation that may exists on the bed and the banks also are seen to influence the positions where the objects are accumulated and deposited. The results can be used to control the increasing amount of solid objects washed into the rivers and to the ocean.
