Capillary saturation function of van Genuchten (unimodal or bimodal pore space distributions) and Brooks and Corey (unimodal pore space distribution).
Sat(suc, par.shp, modality = c("uni"), FUN.shp = "vg",
suc.negativ = TRUE)Suction/pressure heads. Negative if suc.negativ = TRUE
named parameter in list or vector
pore size distribution ('uni' or 'bi')
Funktion for soil hydraulic properties (vG or bc) (see details)
set TRUE if suction/pressure heads are negative and FALSE if positive
additional for bimodal (modality == 'bi'): w2 [-]: weigthing between pore space distribution alfa2 [1/L]: van Genuchten parameter alfa for second pore space distribution n2 [-]: van Genuchten parameter n for second pore space distribution
