Dynamics of Hydraulic Size and Constraint Coefficient of Flow of High Turbidity

Abstract

The article presents the main patterns in the dynamics of hydraulic size and the flow restriction coefficient of increased turbidity. The results of the analysis and research of the authors showed that when water is saturated with sediment, different curves are obtained for different sediment diameters. With increasing heterogeneity of sediment composition, the exponent increases. It has been proven that the change in the constraint coefficient with depth is insignificant compared to the hydraulic coarseness of the sediment. The highest values of the constraint coefficient are observed at the surface of the flow and towards the bottom this value decreases.
