On the outside. This is because when the water is flowing around a meander, the water practically goes around, where erosion occurs. If you know science, wherever in a stream where erosion occurs, thats where the velocity is greatest.

Velocity
meander in general is a bend in a sinuous watercourse. A meander is formed when the moving water in a river erodes the outer banks and widens its valley. A stream of any volume may assume a meandering course, alternatively eroding sediments from the outside of a bend and depositing them on the inside. The result is a snaking pattern as the stream meanders back and forth across its down-valley axis. When a meander gets cut off from the main stream, an oxbow lake is formed. Over time meanders migrate downstream, sometimes in such a short time as to create civil engineering problems for local municipalities attempting to maintain stable roads and bridges.There is not yet full consistency or standardization of scientific terminology used to describe watercourses. A variety of symbols and schemes exist. Parameters based on mathematical formulae or numerical data vary as well, depending on the database used by the theorist. Unless otherwise defined in a specific scheme "meandering" and "sinuosity" here are synonymous and mean any repetitious pattern of bends, or waveforms. In some schemes, "meandering" applies only to rivers with exaggerated circular loops or secondary meanders; that is, meanders on meanders.Sinuosity is one of the channel types that a stream may assume over all or part of its course. All streams are sinuous at some time in their geologic history over some part of their length
Meandering characterized a river's course when its flow begins to slow. Meanders form when slight irregularities in the flow cause the moving water to be directed towards a bank. This bank then erodes and at this point the river gets wider and the flow slows causing sediment to be deposited against the opposite bank. Eventually the process causes a large bend in the river and the river develops meanders.
Stream discharge physically depends on two factors: stream cross-sectional area and velocity. Area is composed of width and depth. Q (flow) = vel x width x depth. Stream elevation change, or how steep a stream is, will affect the velocity. Higher sloping streams (like those with few meanders) will travel faster than sinuous, snaking streams that have a lower elevation drop per length of stream.
meanders
Meanders can be found in a river or stream. A meander is a curve or bend. It is also a winding path.
Stream terraces and incised meanders
An alternative word may be 'pronounced'. Meanders erode on the outside bank, where the velocity is always greatest. This means that the meander will 'move' (as, at the same time, deposition is happening on the inside) outwards, making it larger and more 'pronounced', and it may form the shape of an Omega, especially when combined with other meanders.
A stream flowing down a mountain is moving to fast to form meanders.
An increase in gradient will generally increase stream velocity.
A stream gauge is the instrument which is commonly used for the measurement of velocity stream.
The higher the velocity of the stream the larger carrying capacity it has.
When alluvium is deposited on the inside of meanders. It is deposited because velocity is slower there
