Number of Zero Up-Crossings given Zero-Crossing Period Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Number of Zero-Upcrossings = Record Length/Zero-Crossing Period
N_Z = T_r/T_Z
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Number of Zero-Upcrossings - Number of Zero-Upcrossings in the wave record.
Record Length - (Measured in Second) - Record Length from which average wave period may be obtained.
Zero-Crossing Period - (Measured in Second) - Zero-Crossing Period is the time of a point where the sign of a mathematical function changes.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Record Length: 70 Second --> 70 Second No Conversion Required
Zero-Crossing Period: 7 Second --> 7 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

N_Z = T_r/T_Z --> 70/7

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 Zero Up-Crossings given Zero-Crossing Period Formula

Number of Zero-Upcrossings = Record Length/Zero-Crossing Period
N_Z = T_r/T_Z

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.
