wtConfigureDrainage: Drainage parameter values

wtConfigureDrainageR Documentation

Drainage parameter values

Description

Define drainage-related WTAQ parameters

Usage

wtConfigureDrainage(idra = 2, alpha = c(), acc = 5, akk = 31.7, 


    amm = 100, axmm = 10)

Arguments

idra

Type of drainage at water table. Enter 0 if AQTYPE = CONFINED.

Three options are provided:

IDRA = 0: Instantaneous drainage.

IDRA = 1: Gradual drainage.

IDRA = 2: Drainage with unsaturated-zone characterization.

alpha

Only used if idra = 1. Drainage constants, in units of inverse time.

Maximum of 5 values is allowed.

acc

Only used if idra = 2. Soil-moisture retention exponent, in units of

inverse length.

akk

Only used if idra = 2. Relative hydraulic-conductivity exponent, in units

of inverse length. The value specified must be greater than or equal to

that specified for ACC.

amm

Only used if idra = 2. Initial unsaturated-zone thickness above the

capillary fringe, in units of length.

axmm

Only used if idra = 2. The unsaturated-zone thickness above the capillary

fringe above which an assumption of an infinitely thick unsaturated-zone

thickness is assumed, in units of length.

Value

list with elements idra, alpha, acc, akk,

amm, axmm, representing WTAQ parameters related to drainage.

See descriptions in Arguments section.
