◆ bottomShearStress()

template<typename VolumeVariables >
virtual Dune::FieldVector< Scalar, 2 > Dumux::FrictionLaw< VolumeVariables >::bottomShearStress ( const VolumeVariables &  volVars) const
pure virtual

Compute the bottom shear stress.

Parameters
volVarsVolume variables

Compute the bottom shear stress due to bottom friction. The bottom shear stress is a projection of the shear stress tensor onto the river bed. It can therefore be represented by a (tangent) vector with two entries.

Returns
shear stress [N/m^2]. First entry is the x-component, the second the y-component.

Implemented in Dumux::FrictionLawManning< VolumeVariables >, Dumux::FrictionLawNikuradse< VolumeVariables >, and Dumux::FrictionLawNoFriction< VolumeVariables >.

◆ limitRoughH()

template<typename VolumeVariables >
Scalar Dumux::FrictionLaw< VolumeVariables >::limitRoughH ( const Scalar  roughnessHeight,
const Scalar  waterDepth 
) const
inline

Limit the friction for small water depth.

We define a water depth minUpperH. If the water depth is smaller, we start to limit the friction. So the friction term get's not extreme large for small water depths.

For the limiting the LET model is used, which is usually applied in the porous media flow to limit the permeability due to the saturation. It employs the three empirical paramaters L, E and T, which describe the limiting curve (mobility).

auto mobility = (mobility_max * pow(sw,L))/(pow(sw,L) + E * pow(1.0-sw,T));

For the limitation of the roughness height L = 0.0, T = 2.0 and E = 1.0 are choosen. Therefore the calculation of the mobility is simplified significantly.

Parameters
roughnessHeightroughness height of the representative structure (e.g. largest grain size).
