    • Derivation of 2D Power-Law Velocity Distribution Using Entropy Theory 
      Singh, Vijay P.; Marini, Gustavo; Fontana, Nicola (2013)
      The one-dimensional (1D) power law velocity distribution, commonly used for computing velocities in open channel flow, has been derived empirically. However, a multitude of problems, such as scour around bridge piers, ...
    • Entropy approach for 2D velocity distribution in open-channel flow 
      Fiorentino, Mauro; Fontana, Nicola; Marini, Gustavo; De Martino, Giuseppe; Singh, Vijay P. (2011-11-21)
      In this paper, considering time-averaged velocity as a random variable, two-dimensional (2D) velocity distributions in open-channel flow have been derived based on the Shannon entropy concept and the principle of maximum ...
    • Tsallis Entropy Based Velocity Distribution in Open Channel Flows 
      Luo, Hao (2010-07-14)
      The Tsallis entropy is applied to derive both 1-D and 2-D velocity distributions in an open channel cross section. These distributions contain a parameter m through which the Tsallis entropy becomes a generalization of the ...
