The results show that the Irtysh River is a composite meander integrated by valley meander and free meander according to the geomorphic features formed by meandering. Judging from the characteristics of this river, the average slope of riverbeds is 0.5188 ‰; the average curvature is 1.72. By observing dry oxbow lake sites, right bank swung more violently than left bank … Show more
