Fetch given Height of Waves for Fetch more than 20 miles Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Fetch length = ((Height of Wave/0.17)^2)/Wind Velocity
F = ((h_a/0.17)^2)/V_w
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Fetch length - (Measured in Meter) - Fetch Length is the horizontal distance over which wave-generating winds blow.
Height of Wave - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Wave is the distance between the lowest and highest points of a person/ shape/ object standing upright.
Wind Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Wind Velocity is an air moving from high to low pressure, usually due to changes in temperature that is the horizontal movement of air specified by its speed and direction.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Height of Wave: 12.2 Meter --> 12.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Wind Velocity: 20 Meter per Second --> 20 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F = ((h_a/0.17)^2)/V_w --> ((12.2/0.17)^2)/20

Evaluating ... ...

F = 257.508650519031

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

257.508650519031 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

257.508650519031 ≈ 257.5087 Meter <-- Fetch length

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

Molitor-Stevenson equation for Height of Waves for Fetch less than 20 miles

Go Height of Wave = 0.17*(Wind Velocity*Fetch length)^0.5+2.5-Fetch length^0.25

Molitor-Stevenson equation for Height of Waves for Fetch more than 20 miles

Go Height of Wave = 0.17*(Wind Velocity*Fetch length)^0.5

Fetch given Height of Waves for Fetch more than 20 miles

Go Fetch length = ((Height of Wave/0.17)^2)/Wind Velocity

Height of Wave from Trough to Crest given Velocity between 1 and 7 feet

Go Height of Wave = (Wind Velocity-7)/2

Velocity when Wave Heights between 1 and 7 feet

Go Wind Velocity = 7+2*Height of Wave

Fetch given Height of Waves for Fetch more than 20 miles Formula

Fetch length = ((Height of Wave/0.17)^2)/Wind Velocity
F = ((h_a/0.17)^2)/V_w
