kms: Convert velocity or slowness to km/s.

In abarbour/hydrogeo: Tools for hydrogeology and poroelasticity

Description

Converts a velocity with units ft/s, or slowness with units s/ft to velocity with units km/s. This function would typically be needed to convert units in V[p] logs to those appropriate for scaling laws (into density, porosity, etc.).

Usage

kms(vel, is.mus = FALSE, is.slowness = FALSE, ...)

## Default S3 method:
kms(vel, is.mus = FALSE, is.slowness = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

vel	numeric; velocity or slowness
is.mus	logical; is time in microseconds?
is.slowness	logical; is vel slowness instead of velocity?
...	additional parameters (unused)

Details

If a velocity is v then slowness is

p=\frac{1}{v}

The spatial units associated with vel are assumed to be in feet (e.g. ft/s).

Value

numeric
