Different mechanisms generating secondary currents in channels are presented. It is shown by an order-of-magnitude analysis that secondary currents of magnitude 1% of the downstream velocity are as important for lateral mixing as turbulent diffusion. Results from numerical simulations that support the analysis are presented.
