Functions

calc_ptf_jabro1992

Estimate saturated hydraulic conductivity from silt, clay, and bulk density.

[[nodiscard]]
inline double calc_ptf_jabro1992(double silt, double clay, double bulk_density)

Parameters

Name Description
silt Silt content, 0.002-0.05 mm. (%)
clay Clay content, <0.002 mm. (%)
bulk_density Bulk density. (g/cm^3)

Returns

Saturated hydraulic conductivity. (m/s)

Note

Sand is not an input to the model.

Warning

The formula uses base-10 logarithms of silt and clay.
