crit_stress: Estimate the critical shear stress

Description Usage Arguments

Description

crit_stress estimates the shear stress required to entrain a grain of size Di from a bed surface with a median size of D50. The equations are based on the equations presented in Wilcock and Crowe (2001), assuming a critical dimensionless shear stress for the D50 of 0.045 (as a default)

Usage

1
crit_stress(Di, D50, TC50 = 0.036)

Arguments

Di

vector of grain sizes to analyse (mm)

D50

median grain size for the bed surface (mm)

TC50

(optional) critical dimensionlessstress for D50 (default is 0.036)
