Rivers of the cryolithozone are under consideration. The structure of open-water and ice-covered flows in this zone is determined by moderate river falls, high sinuosity of rivers, especially delta branches, and long freeze up periods. The basic relationships describing the open-water and ice-covered flows in straight reaches of rivers are presented. Special attention is paid to modern studies of features of flow in a river bend.
