Shoaling Coefficient

Go Shoaling Coefficient = (tanh(Wave Number for Water Wave*Coastal Mean Depth)*(1+(2*Wave Number for Water Wave*Coastal Mean Depth/sinh(2*Wave Number for Water Wave*Coastal Mean Depth))))^-0.5

Shoaling Coefficient given Wave Celerity

Go Shoaling Coefficient = sqrt(Deepwater Wave Celerity/(Celerity of the Wave*2*Ratio of Group Velocity to Phase Velocity))

Beach Slope given Breaking Wave and Wave Height at Breaking Point

Go Beach Slope = Breaking Wave*sqrt(Wave Height for Surface Gravity Waves/Deep-Water Wavelength)

Breaking Wave given wave height at Breaking Point

Go Breaking Wave = Beach Slope/sqrt(Wave Height for Surface Gravity Waves/Deep-Water Wavelength)

Deepwater Wave Height for Shoaling Coefficient and Refraction Coefficient

Go Wave Height in Deepwater = Wave Height for Surface Gravity Waves/(Shoaling Coefficient*Refraction Coefficient)

Refraction Coefficient given Relative Change of Wave Height

Go Refraction Coefficient = Wave Height for Surface Gravity Waves/(Wave Height in Deepwater*Shoaling Coefficient)

Wave Height given Shoaling Coefficient and Refraction Coefficient

Go Wave Height for Surface Gravity Waves = Wave Height in Deepwater*Shoaling Coefficient*Refraction Coefficient

Refraction Coefficient

Go Refraction Coefficient = sqrt(Distance Between Two Rays at Deepwater/Distance Between Two Rays)

Wave Height at Breaking Point given Breaking Wave and Wave Height at Breaking Point

Go Wave Height for Surface Gravity Waves = (Deep-Water Wavelength*Beach Slope^2)/Breaking Wave^2

Deepwater Wavelength given Wave Breaking and Wave Height at Breaking Point

Go Deep-Water Wavelength = (Breaking Wave^2*Wave Height for Surface Gravity Waves)/Beach Slope^2

Distance between Two Rays at General Point

Go Distance Between Two Rays = Distance Between Two Rays at Deepwater/Refraction Coefficient^2

Shoaling Coefficient in Shallow Water

Go Shoaling Coefficient = 0.4466*(Deep-Water Wavelength/Water Depth in Ocean)^(1/4)

Water Depth when Reduced Shoaling Coefficient in shallow Water

Go Water Depth in Ocean = Deep-Water Wavelength/(Shoaling Coefficient/0.2821)^2

Deepwater Wavelength for Shoaling Coefficient in Shallow Water

Go Deep-Water Wavelength = (Shoaling Coefficient/0.4466)^4*Water Depth in Ocean

Wave Length for Reduced Shoaling Coefficient in Shallow Water

Go Deep-Water Wavelength = Water Depth in Ocean*(Shoaling Coefficient/0.2821)^2

Water Depth given Shoaling Coefficient in Shallow Water

Go Water Depth in Ocean = Deep-Water Wavelength/(Shoaling Coefficient/0.4466)^4

Distance between Two Rays at General Point Formula

Distance Between Two Rays = Distance Between Two Rays at Deepwater/Refraction Coefficient^2
b = b₀/K_r^2

What does Shoaling Mean?

Shoaling is the deformation of incident waves on the lower shore face that starts when the water depth becomes less than about half of the wavelength, causing the waves to become steeper: increase in amplitude and decrease in wavelength

What is the refraction of waves?

Refraction, in physics, the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed. For example, waves in deep water travel faster than in shallow.
