- quadratic_transport_law(theta, theta_d, omega)[source]#
Quadratic transport law \(q_{\rm sat}/Q = \Omega \sqrt{\theta_{\rm th}}(\theta - \theta_{\rm th})\), from Duràn et al. 2011.
- Parameters:
theta (scalar, numpy array) – Shield number.
theta_d (scalar, numpy array) – Threshold Shield number.
omega (scalar, numpy array) – Prefactor of the transport law.
- Returns:
Sediment fluxes calculated elementwise using the quadratic transport law.
- Return type:
scalar, numpy array
Examples
>>> import numpy as np >>> theta = np.random.random((2000, )) >>> theta_d, omega = 0.0053, 7.8 >>> qsat = quadratic_transport_law(theta, theta_d, omega)
