Description

L_filt Function This function calculates the distance in centimeters to reduce the suspended concentration by a factor of C_C0 (i.e., C/C0).

L_filt(C_C0 = 1e-06, alpha = 1, Kx = 0.02, GRAD = 7e-04, POR = 0.21,
  K_units = "cm/s", TEMP = 25, DIA_SUSP = 1e-04, DIA_SOIL = 0.053,
  PART_DENS = 2.64)

Arguments

alpha

Factor that accounts for chemical affects on particle removal. Defaults to a value of 1 (i.e., chemical affects do not enhance particle removal

Kx

Defaults to a value of 0.02 cm/s

GRAD

Defaults to a value of 0.0007

POR

Defaults to a value of 0.21. The value of 0.21 is the average for medium sand as reported by Johnson (1967)

K_units

Units of hydraulic conductivity. Defaults to cm/s but also accepts ft/day. Units should be surrounded by quotation marks to ensure it is treated as a string of text.

TEMP

Temperature in units of °C. Defaults to a value of 25°C

DIA_SUSP

Diameter of the suspended solids in units of cm

DIA_SOIL

Diameter of the soil particles in units of cm

PART_DENS

Density of the suspended particle in units of g/cm³

C_CO

Target TSS concentration reduction. Defaults to a value of 1e-6. That is to say that the TSS reduction is a factor of 1,000,000 times
