Horton Fields

The Horton type exposes the following members.

Fields
  NameDescription
Public fieldF0
Infiltration rate at start Unit: [m/s]
Public fieldFc
Infiltration rate at end Unit: [m/s]
Public fieldFt
Infiltration rate at current time step. Unit: [m/s] Computational variable.

This is stored and used when switching from dry to wet mode, in order to get a smooth transition of infiltration rates.

Public fieldKdry
Time constant for dry period (inverse Horton's equation) Unit: [1/s]
Public fieldKwet
Time constant for wet period (horton's exponent) Unit: [1/s]
Public fieldTdry
Time of the dry Horton mode. Applicable only when HortonMode is Dry

When approaching infinity, the start infiltration rate has been recovered

Unit: [s] State variable.
Public fieldTwet
Time of the wet Horton mode. Applicable only when HortonMode is Wet

A value of zero matches the start infiltration rate.

Unit: [s] State variable.
