Detailed Description

Describe a unit of sediment.

The Sed_cell struct is used to hold a number of differnt sediment types. The cell of sediment has a thickness that is able to change but it's original thickness is always remembered.

The fraction pointer points to an array that holds the fraction of each sediment type contained within the cel. Note that the number of sediment types that are stored in the cell is not part of the Sed_cell structure. This was done to save space since most applications make use of this structure will have a single number of sediment types that does not change.

Parameters:
n The number of grain types in the cell
f The fraction of each grain size in the cell.
t_0 The initial thickness of the cell, before any compaction has occured.
t The current thickness of the cell.
age The average age of the sediemnt in the cell.
pressure The excess porewater pressure in the cell.
facies The facies designation of the cell.
