[ <group-name> ], is followed by a series of key-values pairs, and ends at the start of the next group (or EOF). The key-value lines are of the form: <name-of-key> : <value>
For a sediment file, the required parameters are:
grain size Grain size (in microns) of the sediment type.grain density Density (in kg/m^3) of the sediment grains.saturated density Bulk density (in kg/m3) that the sediment saturated with water.minimum void ratio Void ratio (-) of the sediment in its closest packed state.diffusion coefficient Diffusion index between 0 (unable to be moved) and 1 (easily moved).removal rate Removal rate (in 1/day)consolidation coefficient How quickly the sediment consolidates.compaction coefficient Rate that sediment is compacted under load.
