CALCULATIONS OF ENTRAINED SEDIMENTS, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE LARGEST EXPENDITURES OF SUSPENDED SEDIMENTS (USING THE EXAMPLE OF THE RIVERS OF THE GREATER CAUCASUS OF AZERBAIJAN)

The article analyzes the flow of entrained sediments and their ratio to the highest expenditure of suspended sediments. The study of entrained sediments in mountainous areas is a more difficult task than in lowland areas. In addition, the weak hydrological knowledge of mountainous areas, as well as the lack of observations on the flow of entrained sediments on small rivers, do not allow for full monitoring of entrained sediments. Therefore, the study and calculation of entrained sediments is of great scientific and practical importance. Rolling particles in the largest flow rates of suspended sediments are considered to be entrained, especially when they move during mudflows. It was revealed that the runoff of the entrained sediments has a sorting character in the removal cone according to the Erie law.
