How to Calculate Depth given Velocity at Surface?
Depth given Velocity at Surface calculator uses Depth of Frictional Influence = (pi*Shear Stress at the Water Surface/Velocity at the Surface)^2/(2*Density of Water*Angular Speed of the Earth*sin(Latitude of the line)) to calculate the Depth of Frictional Influence, Depth given Velocity at Surface is defined as depth of frictional influence or depth over which turbulent eddy viscosity becomes important. Depth of Frictional Influence is denoted by D symbol.
How to calculate Depth given Velocity at Surface using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Depth given Velocity at Surface, enter Shear Stress at the Water Surface (τ), Velocity at the Surface (Vs), Density of Water (ρ), Angular Speed of the Earth (ΩE) & Latitude of the line (L) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Depth given Velocity at Surface calculation can be explained with given input values -> 74.12615 = (pi*0.6/0.5)^2/(2*1000*7.2921159E-05*sin(20)).
