How to Calculate Water Surface Amplitude?
Water Surface Amplitude calculator uses Water Surface Amplitude = Incident Wave Height*cos(2*pi*Horizontal Ordinate/Incident Wave Length in Deepwater)*cos(2*pi*Time Elapsed/Reflected Wave Period) to calculate the Water Surface Amplitude, The Water Surface Amplitude for a profile view of the water surface envelope positions for a wave reflecting from a wall that has a reflection coefficient equal to unity. Water Surface Amplitude is denoted by N symbol.
How to calculate Water Surface Amplitude using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Water Surface Amplitude, enter Incident Wave Height (Hi), Horizontal Ordinate (x), Incident Wave Length in Deepwater (Lo), Time Elapsed (t) & Reflected Wave Period (T) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Water Surface Amplitude calculation can be explained with given input values -> 78.7881 = 160*cos(2*pi*38.5/16)*cos(2*pi*12/34.2).
