n_engelund1967: Compute form roughness following Engelund and Hansen (1967)

Description

n_engelund1967 calculate Manning's n using the Engelund-Hansen (1981) method for estimating form roughness

Usage

n_engelund1967(depth, slope, d50, restrict = TRUE)

Value

Manning's n

Arguments

depth

flow depth (H) in meters

slope

channel slope (S) in m/m

d50

grain size (d50) in millimeters

restrict

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