A theoretical study on complete mixing distance in open-channel uniform flow
Abstract
A theoretical formula of the complete mixing distance in open-channel uniform flow for an instantaneous point source is derived by the principle of maximum entropy in this paper. The formula can be well used to the cases of continuous point source and intermittent point source. An indirect experiment verification method about the formula and some comparisons with the previous studies are also given.
