Kirpich channel travel time (minutes)
SI Kirpich channel component tc=0.0195L^0.77S^-0.385; empirical calibration, not all-catchment universal validity.
Symbols and units
- a
- Channel flow-path length (m)
- b
- Channel slope (m/m)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- User-supplied measurements and assumptions; SI Kirpich channel component tc=0.0195L^0.77S^-0.385; empirical calibration, not all-catchment universal validity. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
