The paper presents the system of equations for axisymmetriclaminar flow, after averaging, through the width of interdisk slit ofTesla turbine. Coefficients were introduced, as a result ofaveraging, that improve the efficiency of 1D model. The minimalnumber of such coefficients was determined. The 1D modelmakes it possible to attain analytical solutions to an accuracylimited by these coefficients. Calibration of 1D model depends onfinding numerical values of coefficients that yield sufficientaccuracy compared with 3D calculations. A definition of theefficiency coefficient for the Tesla turbine is also given. Thisdefinition relies on 1D model results.Example values of thiscoefficient is described after calibration of 1D model.
