Wave Crest Period Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Wave Crest Period = Record Length/Number of Crests
Tc = Tr/Nc
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Wave Crest Period - (Measured in Second) - Wave Crest Period between two neighboring wave crests.
Record Length - (Measured in Second) - Record Length from which average wave period may be obtained.
Number of Crests - Number of Crests in the wave record.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Record Length: 70 Second --> 70 Second No Conversion Required
Number of Crests: 18 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Tc = Tr/Nc --> 70/18
Evaluating ... ...
Tc = 3.88888888888889
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
3.88888888888889 Second --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
3.88888888888889 3.888889 Second <-- Wave Crest Period
(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

12 Zero-Crossing Method Calculators

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

Wave Crest Period Formula

Wave Crest Period = Record Length/Number of Crests
Tc = Tr/Nc

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.
