Parameters of local scours in an unprotected part of the riverbed behind the
hydrosystem end structures are determined by distribution of kinematic characteristics
of the flow. The kinematic characteristics in cross-sections of a natural part of the
riverbed depend on a number of factors, including the bottom roughness, flow depth and
water surface slope. To calculate the velocity distribution over the cross-section of the
drainage channel, we used Navier?Stokes equations for the uniform steady turbulent
motion. We proposed to derive the logarithmic profile of longitudinal velocities in the
flow depth based on the theory of fractals. The calculation in MathCad showed the
convergence of results of this approach with data of N.B. Baryshnikov. It is established
that, using the obtained parameters, the dependence of the velocity distribution in the
flow depth, obtained on the basis of the fractals theory, has a good convergence with the
logarithmic profile, obtained according to classical methods. The fractal theory was
applied to output the parameters of Karman vortex street. The results can be used to
simulate the flow spreading and the local scours in the hydrosystem tailraces.
