The two sink terms in Overland Flow

Hi all,

In the benchmark test of overland flow, I noticed there are two types of source terms: a normal depth (NORMALDEPTH) sink term and a critical depth (CRITICALDEPTH) sink term. But I’m not sure how to set the parameters. I request everyone to help me explain the meaning of the parameters, especially the meaning represented by the numbers below.

The following is the input file for the benchmark test. These benchmark tests can all be found in the overland flow benchmark test of OGS 5.8 version. I sincerely request everyone’s help.
