| Description of the program
The program follows the method of Chu (1978), Mein and Larson (1971, 1973) and Skaggs and Kaheel (1982) to calculate infiltration for unsteady rainfall using the Green-Ampt equation. The program runs in DOS mode and is written in FORTRAN 77. Command line UNIX and DOS versions are available from the authors.
Unpack the contents of the ZIP package on a directory. The program (gampt.exe) and sample files will be writen into this directory. The program inputs are chosen as arguments from the command line. A short description of the program use can be obtained by executing the program with no arguments: |
> gampt <return>
*****************************************
* Green-Ampt Unsteady Rainfall *
* Version 0.3, 3/02/00, jep, rmc *
* *
* To run type: *
* gampt soilsfile rainfile (> outfile) *
* *
* where: *
* soilsfile = soil input data *
* rainfile = rainfall inputs *
* outfile = output filename *
* *
*****************************************
| For example, if your executable is named gampt.exe, and the input files soils.inp and rawrain.inp then you would type (note that the soil file goes before the rainfall one): |
> gampt soils.inp rawrain.inp
| The user could edit the enclosed sample files, replace the contents with the values from the case to analyze, and change the names to new names reflecting the new application. Note also that the screen output could be redirected to a file (sample.out) as: |
> gampt soils.inp rawrain.inp > sample.out
| File inputs
The program input files are written in ASCII format. These are sample input files: File: soil.inp |
0.1 0.0 -->sol. time step (h),time offset
(h) [usually 0]
0.044 22.4 0.499 0.25 -->Ks(cm/h), Sav(cm),
Sat.WC, Init.WC (cm^3/cm^3)
0.75 -->maximum surface storage s(cm)
| File: rawrain.inp |
0.0 1.0 1.5 --->start hours, end hours,
rainfall intensity cm/h
1.0 2.0 0.1
2.0 4.0 1.0
| File outputs
The program output files are written in ASCII format. These are sample input files: |
Working with Soils data =soils.inp
Working with Rainfall data =rawrain.inp
