Abstract

The solution of all problems of sediment transport in rivers demands a definition of the structure of the flow, which includes the characteristics of mean and turbulent motion, oressure, temperature, concentration of suspended particles and resistance of the flow. [he parameters of turbulent transfer, as well as the energy dissipation, which Ietermines hydraulic resistance of the stream, are based on the knowledge of the flow characteristics. The theory of turbulent flows includes the unclosed system of Iifferential equations. To close this system the gradient form of turbulent diffusion is often used. This approach was developed in papers by V.M. Makkaveev [9].
