Chaos. We can change pressure to 10^5 N/m^2 and we get 10^5 > N/m^2 + (N/m) / 10^-6m. > That's the reason why these parameters are *10: so we could have > calculations using bars and microns.
I'm fine with scaling them so that the code gets easier to read. Let's just make sure we then document the unit that results in and explain WHY we use those units. /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
