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)

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

Water Depth given Stable Wave Height Formula

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

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.
