Abstract
Turbulence diffusion in open-channel flow was investigated experimentally by photographing the spread of globules formed by the injection of an immiscible fluid into water. The mean-square transverse deviations of the globules at various distances downstream from the source were computed and analyzed in an effort to determine the shape of the velocity-correlation curve. Comparison was made between two types of curve which fitted the deviation data, one corresponding to a power-correlation law and the other to an exponential-correlation law.
