YAML integration: configuration file

What's Changed

• Yaml integration by @awickert in #2

Full Changelog: v0.5.0...v0.6.0

Version 0.5.0

Version following initial completion of methods section of paper and distribution to coauthors.

• Major Enhancements
  • Bed-load diffusion: Full overhaul. Stochastic lateral motion due to particle collisions
  • Noncohesive erosion: time of flight, and therefore, particle step length. This makes $k_E$ dimensionless.
  • Double Manning can now use hydraulic radius or depth; the latter uses the wide-channel assumption.
• Minor enhancements
  • Critical Shields stress (tau_star_c_sed) is now user-definable
  • Lump all shear-stress and shear-velocity variable computations into a single function in which they are updated; call this at an early point while updating width. See: Centralize update of stress, shear, and turbulence variables: Prior to widening, narrowing calculations.
  • Plot db_dt__day__narrowing_series as negative.
  • Add legend_loc option for plotting; legend fontsize=12
• Fixes
  • Plotting works with updated Pandas (indexing deprecation)
  • Fix function compute__u_star__tau_bed: Remove 1/2 power from self.tau_star_bed calculation in (self.rho_s - self.rho).
  • Let self.tau_star_bank not be defined if D is None.

Version 0.4.0

Version for AGU 2022 and close to final for the paper submission

• Allow nonuniform dt
• Narrowing by (with separate functions):
  • Suspended load
  • Bed load
• Widening by (with separate functions):
  • Cohesive-bank erosion
  • Noncohesive-sediment entrainment
• Updated README table of inputs
• Cimarron Flood example test

Version 0.3.0

• Widening with cohesive and noncohesive banks: Chooses the slower of the two, if both available, as rate-limiting process
• Narrowing via bedload and suspended load

Version 0.2.0

• Fully functional but currently designed for cohesive banks only.
• Cleaned repository
• Improved physical basis for channel narrowing
• Prepared for integration with PyPI

Version 0.1.0

Version as of AGU 2021

• Double-Manning rating-curve relationship to incorporate field data and overbank flow
• Externally set roughness
• Cohesive/noncohesive instead of detachment-/transport-limited
• Initialize time series of flow data
• Gary Parker (1978) shear stress distribution and channel geometry for even shear stress across the whole wall in the bank region
• Channel narrowing through lateral diffusion of sediment and disentrainment in the near-bank regions

Version 0.0.0

• Fully functional
• Object oriented
• Does not spread high flows overbank; instead, concentrates them in the channel and on wall stress
