Predicting Shear Stress Distribution in Rectangular Channels Using Entropy Concept.

This study makes use of the Tsallis entropy to predict the shear stress distribution in rectangular channels. Given a definition of the Tsallis entropy, it is maximized using the probability density function, which then is used to attain a novel shear stress equation. This is then employed for calcu...
