Changelog
v1.0.0
  • Initial release of Steep Channel Toolbox.
  • Calculated number of steps always rounds up to nearest integer. Divergence from excel tool which rounded to nearest integer.
v2.0.0
  • Residual depth is now calculated as step height - drop height (H-z). This avoids geometry clashes between the three parameters which were previously calculated separately. Divergence from excel tool and v1.0 which calculated residual depth from D84 Bed.
  • The minimum step length of 2*D84 is now capped at step spacing - pool length (Lspt-Lp). This avoids cases of the pool and step lenghts exceeding the step spacing. Divergence from the excel tool and v1.0 which had no cap.
  • Added an option to change bank slope between 1.5H:1V and 2H:1V. Channel geometry is now calculated based on variable bank slope. Diverges from excel tool and V1.0.
  • Removed the option for fixed number of step pools #SP. Divergence from excel tool and V1.0.
  • Added an imperial/metric unit conversion option.
  • Added grain size distribution plots.
  • Added parameter symbols to the output CSV format.
  • UI clarity updates and bugfixes.
