Abstract:
The effects of cross-sectional geometry and velocity distribution on the dispersion process in straight, uniform open channels with large width-to-depth ratio are investigated. The method of investigation follows Taylor's approach and thus the results apply after the elapse of an initial period during which a constant dispersion coefficient has developed. The results of the analysis show that under the assumed conditions the longitudinal dispersion coefficient can be described by the general expresion
