SF_2

SF_2

Function SF_2 provides the shape factor ([m] or [ft]) for a cylinder that is completely buried in a semi-infinite medium.

Inputs:
D = diameter of cylinder ([m] or [ft])
w = depth of cylinder (surface to center line) ([m] or [ft])
L = length of cylinder ([m] or [ft])

Example: SF = SF_2(D, w, L)
