Description

lynds_three calculates the slope of an ancient river, provided you know the flow depth, the grain size of the bed material, and the maximum grain size of suspended sediment. Implemented from Lynds et al. (2014)

Usage

1
lynds_three(Dbed, Dsusp, H, rhos = 2650, rhof = 1000, ws_mode = "simple")

Arguments

Dbed

The median grain size of bedload sediments in meters.

Dsusp

The maximum grain size of suspended sediments in meters.

H

The paleoflow depth in meters.

rhos

The density of the sediment in kg/m^3

rhof

The density of the fluid in kg/m^3

ws_mode

Allows you to choose one of two different methods for calculating the settling velocity of the bedload particles. 'simple' ignores the Corey Shape Factor and the Powers Index. See documentation for settle for more information. For now, this feature is disabled.

Value

Returns a list with two elements: S, the dimensionless slope, and F, the ratio of total boundary shear stress to skin friction shear stress.
