n_bathurst1985 {HYDROCAL}R Documentation

Compute grain roughness via Bathurst (1985)

Description

n_bathurst1985 calculate Manning's n using the Bathurst (1985) method for estimating grain roughness

Usage

n_bathurst1985(depth, grain, restrict = TRUE)

Arguments

depth

flow depth (H) in meters. The original model was calibrated for 0.102 m < H < 1.60 m.

grain

grain size (d84) in millimeters. The original model was calibrated for 113 mm < d84 < 740 mm.

restrict

allows for function parameters to restrict certain values. Type bool. Default TRUE.

Value

Manning's n
