How to Calculate Pressure Reference Factor?
Pressure Reference Factor calculator uses Pressure Factor = cosh(2*pi*(Distance above the Bottom)/Wavelength)/(cosh(2*pi*Water Depth/Wavelength)) to calculate the Pressure Factor, The Pressure Reference Factor is obtained from linear theory and takes into account pressure due to wave motion. Pressure Factor is denoted by K symbol.
How to calculate Pressure Reference Factor using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Pressure Reference Factor, enter Distance above the Bottom (DZ+d), Wavelength (λ) & Water Depth (d) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Pressure Reference Factor calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.082085 = cosh(2*pi*(2)/26.8)/(cosh(2*pi*1.05/26.8)).
