Horton Class

Initializes a new instance of the Horton class

Horton mode can be Wet or Dry. See HortonMode

State variable. Should not be updated manually.

Initially: Wet

True if the Integrated Horton method is used in the calculation for infiltration. Default: False

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.

Serves as a hash function for a particular type.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Reset horton parameters

Switch Horton mode. Automatically calculating new Horton times, i.e. when switching from dry to wet mode, the value of Twet is calculated to match the same infiltration as the current value of Tdry, and vice versa.

Take a Horton Timestep, returning the Infiltration Depth of the time step.

Returns a string that represents the current object.

Infiltration rate at start Unit: [m/s]

Infiltration rate at end Unit: [m/s]

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.

Time constant for dry period (inverse Horton's equation) Unit: [1/s]

Time constant for wet period (horton's exponent) Unit: [1/s]

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.

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.
