reachRouting.default: default function for class of reachRouting

Description

function for flood routing in channels using parameteric Muskingum and muskingum-cunge techniques.

Usage

# S3 method for default
reachRouting(inflow,routingMethod="muskingum",
             routingParams=list(k=3,
                                x=0.2,
                                bedWith=NULL,
                                sideSlope=2,
                                channelSlope=NULL,
                                manningRoughness=0.025,
                                riverLength=NULL),
             simulation=list(start=NULL,end=NULL,by=NULL))

Arguments

inflow

a vector of runoff (cms) presenting a runoff event generated by excess rainfall computed by loss methods or an object inherited from any of the following classes :transform ; reachRouting ; reservoirRouting.

routingMethod

a string: the type of channel routing method: "muskingum" or "muskingumcunge". default to "muskingum"

routingParams

a list : parameters associated to the routingMethod:

  • k and x for "muskingum",

  • bedWith (m), sideSlope (m/m), channelSlope (m/m), manningRoughness, riverLength (Km) for "muskingumcunge"

simulation

a list of simulation time and dates as below:

  • start: the date which simulation starts, must be in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format

  • start: the date which simulation ends, must be in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format

  • by: the interval of each steps in seconds

Value

a list: including inflow time series routing resaults and simulation details
