An Entropic Model for the Assessment of Streamwise Velocity Dip in Wide Open Channels
The three-dimensional structure of river flow and the presence of secondary currents, mainly near walls, often cause the maximum cross-sectional velocity to occur below the free surface, which is known as the “dip” phenomenon. The present study proposes a theoretical model derived from the entropy t...
