The main study achievements in the evolution of riverbed landforms in river junctions since 1980s are reviewed. The characteristics of flow and landforms in different types of river junction are summarized. The main factors affecting the riverbed landforms are intersection angle and confluence ratio of dry and tributary flow, the achieved outcomes until now are theoretical researches mainly based on numerical simulation and water tank test, it is should strengthen the study on the evolution of natural confluence riverbed landforms, especially the study on the applied researches about river ecological restoration, river pollution control and river dredging.
