Transverse Mixing in Open Channel Flow
Publication: Journal of Hydraulic Engineering
Volume 110, Issue 4
Abstract
An experimental study motivated by dimensional analysis was carried out to investigate the variation in the transverse mixing coefficient in straight, rectangular, smooth, and rough open channel flows. The findings have led to a number of suggestions relating to the future laboratory simulations of prototype cooling‐water or wastewater dispersion in a river.
