n_bathurst1985: Compute grain roughness via Bathurst (1985)

In HYDROCAL: Hydraulic Roughness Calculator

Compute grain roughness via Bathurst (1985)

Description

n_bathurst1985 calculate Manning's n using the Bathurst (1985) method for estimating grain roughness

Usage

n_bathurst1985(depth, grain, restrict = TRUE)

Arguments

depth	flow depth (H) in meters. The original model was calibrated for 0.102 m < H < 1.60 m.
grain	grain size (d84) in millimeters. The original model was calibrated for 113 mm < d84 < 740 mm.
restrict	allows for function parameters to restrict certain values. Type bool. Default TRUE.

Value

Manning's n
