Extreme conditions as flash floods in steep mobile-bed streams induce flows which carry a huge amount of sediment. Typically, the flow with the intense transport of sediment is stratified with a layered structure above an erodible plane bed. The paper deals with local flow characteristics in the layered structure of the two-phase flow composed of water and sediment. We present experimental data and results for two different fractions of plastic particles obtained using two acoustic Doppler methods and a Prandtl probe. The results contain vertical profiles of longitudinal velocity component and local turbulent characteristics of the flow as the Reynolds stress and turbulent intensity. The effect of the layered character of the flow on the flow characteristics is discussed. Special attention is paid to the distribution of Reynolds stress in the sediment-rich transport layer above the bed and to the evaluation of ability of carrier turbulent eddies to support sediment grains in and above the transport layer.
