An effect of mineralized warm tributary on the development of density flows in Lake Baikal during different seasons is investigated by means of numerical experiments using a two-dimensional vertical mathematical model of hydrophysical processes. The region of Kukui Canyon with the bottom slope close to 3*10-2 was selected as an example for calculation. It has been shown that under the conditions of such slope and for various mineralizations of the tributary and the lake, the plunge of the river waters is deepest during the period of spring heating.
