Users may select Equation (E = A*Tau^N ) and Bed Properties by Core ID for the erosion rates option in the General tab, if SEDFlume datasets provide the measurements of erosion rates (cm/s) as a function of applied shear stress (dynes/cm2) and the relationship between erosion rates and shear stress can be defined using Jones and Lick (2001)’s ’s approach as:
where E is erosion rate (cm/s), τb is bed shear stress (N/m2), τcr is critical shear stress (N/m2), and A and n are the fitted parameters based on the SEDFlume core data.
...
The sampling location of each SEDFlume core also needs to be entered in Easting (m) and Northing (m) Coordinates for utilizing the Core Assignment features of EFDC_Explorer.
