In this paper, flood flow characteristic of compound meandering river was investigated by using the measurement values such as hydrograph, river configuration and bed topography. The duration of a flood on a flood channel was studied, and an example scoring inner bank was found in the compound meandering flow. The river configuration represented rate of sinuosity and phase difference and the discharge represented relative depth of the channeL The velocity vector measured by aerophotograph made a correlation among the rate of sinuosity, the phase difference and the relative depth. Therefore, in this experiment, requirements of compound meandering flow and single section meandering flow were investigated.
