Resident-weighted transit time in a layered flow
ID: resident-weighted-transit-time-in-a-layered-flow
Without transverse exchange, a particle chosen uniformly from pore volume samples each streamline's transit time with resident-volume weight. This differs from the flux-weighted residence time in a porous layer, which samples at the inlet proportionally to . For constant porosity and a linear positive velocity , the two means are and , respectively. Their limits agree for uniform velocity.
