Actually the fastest flowing river in the world is one that no one would ever suspect. I claim the Passiac River at Paterson NJ is hands down the fastest flowing river in the world during flood stage.
The Great Falls of the Passaic River at Paterson NJ falls 77 ft into an extreme narrow gorge which at the head of the gorge the river channel is no more than 25-30 ft wide. It is at this point in the falls into which the greatest volume of river water plummets. At flood stage when there is many billions of gallons per day going over the falls, the combination of the velocity of the descending water crushing down onto the channel squeezes or puts pressure onto the water in the channel from above. This combined with a very narrow cross section causes the velocity in that short and small section of the river to easily flow some 70 mph. There is nothing like it anywhere in the country maybe the world. This is not a man made channel, it is natural, so the flow velocity during floods is the fastest naturally occurring flow (if you can call it flow, it literally shoots laterally out of the narrow section of gorge)

∙ 13y agoAlways in the middle, at least in a straight
river with a smooth bed that's evenly shaped.
In a real river, the fastest part at any given point will be close to the deepest part. On a curve, that will be on the outside, so on a river that winds back and forth, the line of greatest speed moves back and forth as the river does.
