Probability that Wave Height is greater than or equal to Design Wave Height Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Probability = Number of Waves Higher than Design Wave Height/Wave Number
p = m/4
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Probability - Probability of occurrence of an event (x ≥ xt), of how likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition is true.
Number of Waves Higher than Design Wave Height - Number of Waves Higher than Design Wave Height gives the number waves those are higher than the design wave.
Wave Number - (Measured in Diopter) - Wave Number is the spatial frequency of a wave, measured in cycles per unit distance or radians per unit distance.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Number of Waves Higher than Design Wave Height: 2 --> No Conversion Required
Wave Number: 4 1 per Meter --> 4 Diopter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

p = m/4 --> 2/4

Evaluating ... ...

p = 0.5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.5 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.5 <-- Probability

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

Probability that Wave Height is greater than or equal to Design Wave Height Formula

Probability = Number of Waves Higher than Design Wave Height/Wave Number
p = m/4

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.
