Abstract

In the article an attempt is made, within the framework of the Navier-Stokes equations, to describe the field of the instantaneous velocities of a liquid in the region of a turbulent flow near the wall. It is assumed that the velocities of the liquid are determined by the field of the eddies arising in regions of ejections under the action of pressure pulses in the region near the wall.
