derâzâ-ye âmizeš
Fr.: longueur de mélange  

In a → turbulent flow, the average distance traveled by a → convective cell before it dissolves into its surroundings and deposits its energy. The mixing length is of the order of the → pressure scale height (HP),
l = αHP, where α is the → mixing length parameter. See also → mixing length theory.
