Maximum Wave Height given Energy Dissipation Rate

Go Maximum Wave Height = sqrt(Energy Dissipation Rate per unit Surface Area/(0.25*Water Density*[g]*Percentage of Waves Breaking*Mean Wave Frequency))

Energy Dissipation Rate per unit Surface Area due to Wave Breaking

Go Energy Dissipation Rate per unit Surface Area = (Decay Coefficient/Water Depth)*((Wave Energy*Wave Group Speed)-(Energy Flux associated with Stable Wave Height))

Water Depth given Energy Dissipation Rate per unit Surface Area due to Wave Breaking

Go Water Depth = Decay Coefficient*(Wave Energy*Wave Group Speed-(Energy Flux associated with Stable Wave Height))/Energy Dissipation Rate per unit Surface Area

Percentage of Waves Breaking given Energy Dissipation Rate

Go Percentage of Waves Breaking = Energy Dissipation Rate per unit Surface Area/(0.25*Water Density*[g]*Mean Wave Frequency*(Maximum Wave Height^2))

Mean Wave Frequency given Energy Dissipation Rate

Go Mean Wave Frequency = Energy Dissipation Rate per unit Surface Area/(0.25*Water Density*[g]*Percentage of Waves Breaking*Maximum Wave Height^2)

Energy Dissipation Rate by Battjes and Janssen

Go Energy Dissipation Rate per unit Surface Area = 0.25*Water Density*[g]*Percentage of Waves Breaking*Mean Wave Frequency*(Maximum Wave Height^2)

Water Depth given Maximum Wave Height by Miche Criterion

Go Water Depth = ((atanh(Maximum Wave Height/(0.14*Wavelength of Coast)))/Wave Number for Waves in Coast)

Wave Number given Maximum Wave Height by Miche Criterion

Go Wave Number for Waves in Coast = atanh(Maximum Wave Height/(0.14*Wavelength of Coast))/Water Depth

Wavelength given Maximum Wave Height by Miche Criterion

Go Wavelength of Coast = Maximum Wave Height/(0.14*tanh(Wave Number for Waves in Coast*Water Depth))

Maximum Wave Height using Miche Criterion

Go Maximum Wave Height = 0.14*Wavelength of Coast*tanh(Water Depth*Wave Number for Waves in Coast)

Energy Flux associated with Stable Wave Height

Go Energy Flux = Wave Energy*Wave Group Speed

Water Depth given Stable Wave Height

Go Water Depth = Stable Wave Height/0.4

Stable Wave Height

Go Stable Wave Height = 0.4*Water Depth

Stable Wave Height Formula

Stable Wave Height = 0.4*Water Depth
H_stable = 0.4*d

What is Wave Height and Wave Energy?

In fluid dynamics, the wave height of a surface wave is the difference between the elevations of a crest and a neighbouring trough. Wave height is a term used by mariners, as well as in coastal, ocean and naval engineering.
Wave energy (or wave power) is the transport and capture of energy by ocean surface waves. The energy captured is then used for all different kinds of useful work, including electricity generation, water desalination, and pumping of water.

What is Breaking Wave and Group Velocity?

In fluid dynamics, a breaking wave or breaker is a wave whose amplitude reaches a critical level at which some process can suddenly start to occur causing large amounts of wave energy to be transformed into turbulent kinetic energy.
The group velocity of a wave is the velocity with which the overall envelope shape of the wave's amplitudes—known as the modulation or envelope of the wave propagates through space.

How to Calculate Stable Wave Height?
