User Function Budd Sliding Relation

General Informations

  • USF Fortran File: USF_Sliding.f90
  • USF Name: Sliding_Budd
  • Required Input Variable(s): Vertical coord, z

General Description

This is a summary description. See comments in the code module for a more complete description.

Basal shear stress is given by:

tau_b = C.{u_b}^{m - 1} . u_b . Zab^{q}

where Zab is height above bouyancy, C is a friction coefficient, and m and q are exponents.

The parameters to be given (in the bed boundary condition) are:

  • Budd Friction CoefficientC
  • Budd Velocity Exponentm
  • Budd Zab Exponentq
  • Budd Linear Velocityu_{t0}
  • Budd Floatation

If Budd Floatation is set to true then the height above buoyancy will be based on the floatation condition instead of inferred from the effective pressure (i.e. depth is used instead of normal stress). Default is false.
