n_vanrijn1984: Compute channel form roughness following Van Rijn (1984)

Description

n_vanrijn1984 calculate Manning's n using the Van Rijn (1984) method for estimating roughness due to channel form

Usage

n_vanrijn1984(depth, slope, d50, d90, velocity, restrict = TRUE)

Value

Manning's n

Arguments

depth

flow depth (H) in meters. The original model was calibrated for 0.1 < H < 16 m.

slope

channel slope (S) in m/m

d50

grain size (d50) in millimeters. The original model was calibrated for 0.19 mm < d50 < 3.6 mm.

d90

grain size (d90) in millimeters.

velocity

initial channel velocity estimate (U) in meters per second

restrict

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