where
H
is the depth of the water,
K
(
z
) is the eddy viscosity coefficient of water,
K
0
is the eddy viscosity coefficient at the bottom,
z, x
is the basic set of coordinates
(
x
directed horizontally,
z
vertically upward),
z
0
is the linear measure of bed
roughness,
t
b
is the shear
stress at the bottom level. These simplifications were discussed in the previous
papers (Meyer
