In this short paper we show that making turbulence two- rather than three-dimensional may increase effective turbulent viscosity by about 40%. Dimensionless hydrodynamical viscosity parameter up to \alpha\_{max} = 0.25 M_t^2 may be obtained in this approach, that is in better agreement with the observational data on non-stationary accretion than the values obtained in numerical simulations. However, the \alpha-parameter values known from observations are still several times higher.
