The river flows the fastest in the middle of the river.
The fastest part of a meandering river is typically on the outside of a bend where the water accelerates due to the increased centrifugal force. This faster flow erodes the outer bank of the bend and deposits sediment on the inner bank.
In a river meander bend, the fastest flow typically occurs on the outer bank of the bend. This is due to the centrifugal force acting on the water as it navigates the curve, causing increased velocity. In contrast, the inner bank experiences slower flow and sediment deposition, which can lead to the formation of point bars. This dynamic creates a characteristic pattern of erosion and deposition along meandering rivers.
Usually it is the upper reaches (often termed as mountain streams) that flow the fastest. In the lower, flatter valleys, rivers tend to slow down (except in spate, when the river is in flood)).
The velocity of a stream is usually fastest in the middle of the channel, away from the banks where friction against the sides slows down the water flow. This is due to lower friction and more space for the water to flow without obstruction.

Laminar flow.
The Huang hu river in China, Ganges in india and Satluj in Himalayas are world's fastest flowing rivers with a speed of water flow crossing over 145Km/hour also.
The river shown on the topographic map flows fastest in areas with a steeper gradient, typically indicated by closely spaced contour lines. This steep gradient increases the river's velocity as it descends. Additionally, the flow may also be faster in narrow sections of the river, where water is constricted, leading to increased speed. Conversely, in wider or flatter areas, the flow tends to slow down.

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.
The main erosion at a bend in a river or meandering channel is known as lateral erosion. This occurs on the outside of the curve where the water flow is fastest, leading to the wearing away of the outer bank through the process of hydraulic action and abrasion.
