  Calculates Advective Velocities of the Pore Water and Solid Phase
  in a Water Saturated Sediment assuming Steady State Compaction
}

\description{
  This function calculates the advective velocities of the pore water and
  the solid phase in a sediment based on the assumption of steady state
  compaction.

  The velocities of the pore water (\code{u}) and the solid phase (\code{v})
  are calculated in the middle (\code{mid}) of the grid cells and the
  interfaces (\code{int}).

  One needs to specify the porosity at the interface (\code{por.0}), the
  porosity at infinite depth (\code{por.inf}), the porosity profile
  (\code{por.grid}) encoded as a 1D grid property
   (see \code{\link{setup.prop.1D}}, as well as the advective
  velocity of the solid phase at one particular depth (either at the sediment 
  water interface (\code{v.0}) or at infinite depth (\code{v.inf})).
}

\usage{setup.compaction.1D(v.0 = NULL, v.inf = NULL, por.0, por.inf,
       por.grid)}
\arguments{
  \item{v.0 }{advective velocity of the solid phase at the sediment-water
    interface (also referred to as the sedimentation velocity); if \code{NULL}
    then \code{v.inf} must not be \code{NULL} [L/T]
  }
  \item{v.inf }{advective velocity of the solid phase at infinite depth
    (also referred to as the burial velocity); if \code{NULL} then
    \code{v.0} must not be \code{NULL} [L/T]
  }
  \item{por.0 }{porosity at the sediment-water interface
  }
  \item{por.inf }{porosity at infinite depth
  }
  \item{por.grid }{porosity profile specified as a 1D grid property
    (see \code{\link{setup.prop.1D}} for details on the structure of this list)
  }
}

\value{
  A list containing:
  \item{u }{list with pore water advective velocities at the middle of the
    grid cells (\code{mid}) and at the grid cell interfaces (\code{int}).
  }
  \item{v }{list with solid phase advective velocities at the middle of the
    grid cells (\code{mid}) and at the grid cell interfaces (\code{int}).
  }
