Table 1 Experimental Researches about Mixing in Channels
Researcher | Channel | Results |
|---|---|---|
Elder (1959) | Straight | ey/HU∗ = 0.23 |
Fischer (1969) | Meander | Theoretical form Derived |
Chang (1971) | Meander | Developed |
Miller & Richardson (1974) | Straight | DL/ey > 100 |
Krishnappan & Lau (1977) | Meander | 0.222 < DT/WU∗, 0.416 < DT/WU∗ |
Lau & Krishnappan (1977) | Straight | Instead of DT/HU∗, using DT/WU∗ |
Webel & Schatzmann (1984) | Straight | Criticized results of Lau & Krishnappan (1977) |
Almquist & Holley (1985) | Meander | Transverse dispersion coefficient increasing in natural cross section |
Nokes & Wood (1988) | Straight | Transverse dispersion coefficient dependent of a friction factor |
Boxall & Guymer (2003) | Meander | Conducted with setups natural cross-section |
Boxall et al. (2003) | Meander | Transverse dispersion coefficient varied in direction of channel curvature |
