pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Functions Used

tanh - The hyperbolic tangent function (tanh) is a function that is defined as the ratio of the hyperbolic sine function (sinh) to the hyperbolic cosine function (cosh)., tanh(Number)
atanh - The inverse hyperbolic tangent function returns the value whose hyperbolic tangent is a number., atanh(Number)

Variables Used

Water Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Water Depth of the considered catchment is measured from the water level to the bottom of the considered water body.
Wavelength - (Measured in Meter) - Wavelength can be defined as the distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave.
Wave Celerity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Wave Celerity is the speed at which an individual wave advances or propagates.
Wave Period - (Measured in Second) - Wave Period is the time between successive peaks or troughs.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wavelength: 10.11 Meter --> 10.11 Meter No Conversion Required
Wave Celerity: 3.5 Meter per Second --> 3.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
