Wave Height at Incipient Breaking given Breaker Height Index Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Wave Height at Incipient Breaking = Breaker Height Index*Deep-Water Wavelength
Hb = Ωb*λo
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Wave Height at Incipient Breaking - (Measured in Meter) - Wave Height at Incipient Breaking is defined as the point that wave height is maximum.
Breaker Height Index - Breaker Height Index is the ratio of wave height and still water depth at the shore face location where waves start breaking.
Deep-Water Wavelength - (Measured in Meter) - Deep-Water Wavelength, deep water waves are defined as those occurring in ocean depths greater than twice the wavelength of the wave.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Breaker Height Index: 2.57 --> No Conversion Required
Deep-Water Wavelength: 7 Meter --> 7 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Hb = Ωbo --> 2.57*7
Evaluating ... ...
Hb = 17.99
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
17.99 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
17.99 Meter <-- Wave Height at Incipient Breaking
(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

What is Beach Slope?

The Beach Slope in the tailings industry refers to the surface slope of the tailings after being hydraulically or mechanical deposited from a point of discharge. This is the slope the tailings settle at after being discharged from the end of a pipe.
