Cumulative mixing efficiency (${\eta }_c=\int Mdt/\int (M+ϵ)dt$)

Cumulative mixing efficiency is the ratio of total irreversible density-mixing conversion to total irreversible mechanical-energy loss over an interval. It is a loss-rate-weighted average of instantaneous mixing efficiency, not an unweighted time average. Stored kinetic energy, changes in available potential energy and boundary work must be accounted for before replacing its denominator by integrated forcing.
