Flow Threshold for Channel Erosion

For a given channel, calculates the largest flow a channel can accommodate without eroding.

Usage

eroding_flow(cross_section)

Arguments

cross_section

A "cross_section" object representing a stream's cross section.

Value

Discharge; single numeric.

Examples

cs <- cross_section(3, grad = 0.01, d50 = 45, d84 = 80, roughness = 0.01)
eroding_flow(cs)
