Conclusions
-
1.
The main types of interaction of channel and floodplain flows, which are described by the equation of fluid motion with a variable discharge, were distinguished.
-
2.
The effect of overflow onto the floodplain on the energy losses and other characteristics of the channel flow was established.
-
3.
Relations were obtained which can be used on hydraulic calculations of river flows in the range of investigations conducted (under conditions of intersection of the main channel by a “through-going” floodplain flow with angles of turn of the meander 80–106°, (λb/h)sh=0.17–0.68, and λfl[(B−b)/(h−hsh)]>1.0).
