N2 - A method has been developed to estimate turbulent dispersion based on fuzzy rules that use local transverse velocity shears to predict turbulent velocity fluctuations. Turbulence measurements of flow around a rectangular dead zone in an open channel laboratory flume were conducted using an acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV) probe.
