Non-Archimedean models of mixing—I. Residence time distribution for systems with imperfect mixing

Residence time distributions in flow systems which exhibit randomness on many scales of time are studied here. A non-Archimedean framework of the mixing process was proposed. An expansion where the first term correspond to perfect mixing while the following terms are corrections for imperfect mixing...

Summary:Residence time distributions in flow systems which exhibit randomness on many scales of time are studied here. A non-Archimedean framework of the mixing process was proposed. An expansion where the first term correspond to perfect mixing while the following terms are corrections for imperfect mixing is obtained. The approach is tested by fitting the model to the experimental data of other authors.
