A graphical method of estimating bed shear from measured velocity profiles is presented as an alternative to logarithmic law approach. In the present approach the entire velocity profile is considered as per binary law of velocity distribution i.e., logarithmic law in the wall region and parabolic law in the outer region. The validity of this method has been demonstrated for a typical velocity profile. An analysis has been also made in case of an erroneous measurement of bed level. and Práca obsahuje grafickú metódu určenia charakteristík trenia na dne koryta z meraných profilov rýchlosti ako alternatívu k používanému prístupu vychádzajúcemu z logaritmického zákona rozdelenia rýchlostí prúdenia. Predložený prístup charakterizuje profil rýchlosti ako binárny, t.j. zložený z logaritmického rozdelenia v oblasti steny a z parabolického rozdelenia mimo túto oblasť. Vhodnosť tohto prístupu bola demonštrovaná pre typický rýchlostný profil. Bola vykonaná analýza aj pre nepresné meranie úrovne dna koryta.
The paper present a model of sand sediment transport in water stream in vicinity of a high cylindrical column. It is assumed that an averaged turbulent flow is horizontally layered in vicinity of the cylinder. In each layer the flow around the cylinder is modelled as a potential flow generated by a vertical dipole line. Flow in viscous sub-layer on the surface of thecylinder is neglected. The presented flow model is approximate; however it is simple for use. Trajectories of saltating particles near the cylinder were calculated. Further investigation of such flow will allow a determination of zones where solid particles will collide with the column. That might be useful for prevention of its damage or destruction. and Obsahuje seznam literatury
