Compute form roughness via Brownlie (1981)
Description
n_brownlie1981
calculate Manning's n using the Brownlie (1981) Method
for estimating form roughness.
Usage
n_brownlie1981(depth, slope, d16, d50, d84, restrict = TRUE)
Arguments
depth |
flow depth (H) in meters (m). The original model was calibrated for 0.025 m < H < 17 m. |
slope |
channel slope (S) in (m/m). The original model was calibrated for 3*10^-6 < S < 0.037. |
d16 |
grain size (d16) in millimeters. |
d50 |
grain size (d50) in millimeters. The original model was calibrated for 0.088 mm < d50 < 2.8 mm. |
d84 |
grain size (d84) in millimeters. |
restrict |
allows for function parameters to restrict certain values. Type bool. Default TRUE. |
Value
Manning's n
