Number of Crests in Wave Record given Wave Crest Period Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Number of Crests = Record Length/Wave Crest Period
N_c = T_r/T_c
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Number of Crests - The Number of Crests typically refers to the count of wave peaks in a wave pattern.
Record Length - (Measured in Second) - Record Length typically refers to the length of time over which data is collected or analyzed.
Wave Crest Period - (Measured in Second) - Wave Crest Period also known as wave period or wave frequency, is a measure of the time it takes for one full wave cycle to pass a fixed point.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Record Length: 70 Second --> 70 Second No Conversion Required
Wave Crest Period: 3.88 Second --> 3.88 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

N_c = T_r/T_c --> 70/3.88

Evaluating ... ...

N_c = 18.0412371134021

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

18.0412371134021 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

18.0412371134021 ≈ 18.04124 <-- Number of Crests

Probability that Wave Height is Lesser than or Equal to Design Wave Height

Go Probability = 1-(Number of Waves Higher than Design Wave Height/Wave Number)

Probability that Wave Height is Greater than or Equal to Design Wave Height

Go Probability = Number of Waves Higher than Design Wave Height/Wave Number

Significant Wave Height given Zero-th Moment

Go Significant Wave Height = 4*sqrt(Zero-th Moment of Wave Spectrum)

Number of Zero Up-Crossings given Zero-Crossing Period

Go Number of Zero-Upcrossings = Record Length/Zero-Crossing Period

Record Length given Zero-Crossing Period

Go Record Length = Zero-Crossing Period*Number of Zero-Upcrossings

Zero-Crossing Period

Go Zero-Crossing Period = Record Length/Number of Zero-Upcrossings

Number of Crests in Wave Record given Wave Crest Period

Go Number of Crests = Record Length/Wave Crest Period

Record Length given Wave Crest Period

Go Record Length = Wave Crest Period*Number of Crests

Wave Crest Period

Go Wave Crest Period = Record Length/Number of Crests

Zero-th Moment given Significant Wave Height

Go Zero-th Moment of Wave Spectrum = (Significant Wave Height/4)^2

Root Mean Square Surface Elevation given Significant Wave Height

Go RMS Surface Elevation = Significant Wave Height/4

Significant Wave Height given rms Surface Elevation

Go Significant Wave Height = 4*RMS Surface Elevation

Number of Crests in Wave Record given Wave Crest Period Formula

Number of Crests = Record Length/Wave Crest Period
N_c = T_r/T_c

What are the characteristics of progressive waves?

A progressive wave is formed due to continuous vibration of the particles of the medium.
The wave travels with a certain velocity.
There is a flow of energy in the direction of the wave.
No particles in the medium are at rest.
The amplitude of all the particles is the same.
