Wave Height Entering Inlet Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wave Height Entering Inlet = Wave Height/Inlet Current Wave Height Factor
H_A = H/R_H
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Wave Height Entering Inlet - (Measured in Meter) - Wave Height Entering Inlet [length] is the height of the wave measured at that the inlet.
Wave Height - (Measured in Meter) - Wave Height of a surface wave is the difference between the elevations of a crest and a neighboring trough.
Inlet Current Wave Height Factor - Inlet Current Wave Height Factor is the ratio of wave height and wave height entering inlet.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wave Height: 80 Meter --> 80 Meter No Conversion Required
Inlet Current Wave Height Factor: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required

Channel Velocity in Non-propagated Wave Values in Forbidden Region

Go Velocity in Channel = (Non-propagated Wave Values of 'F'*([g]*Time Averaged Water Depth)^0.5)/cos(Angle b/w Horizontal Velocity and Horizontal Wave)

Channel Depth in Non-propagated Wave values in Forbidden Region

Go Time Averaged Water Depth = (((Velocity in Channel*cos(Angle b/w Horizontal Velocity and Horizontal Wave)/Non-propagated Wave Values of 'F'))^2)/[g]

Non-propagated Wave Values in Forbidden Region Boundary Line

Go Non-propagated Wave Values of 'F' = (Velocity in Channel*cos(Angle b/w Horizontal Velocity and Horizontal Wave))/([g]*Time Averaged Water Depth)^0.5

Angle Wave Orthogonal makes with Current in Non-propagated Wave Values on Forbidden Region

Go Angle b/w Horizontal Velocity and Horizontal Wave = acos(Non-propagated Wave Values of 'F'*([g]*Time Averaged Water Depth)^0.5/Velocity in Channel)

Channel Depth in Non-propagated Wave Values

Go Time Averaged Water Depth = [g]*((Non-propagated Wave Values*Wave Period)/(2*pi))^(1/0.5)

Non-propagated Wave Values in Forbidden Region of Boundary Line

Go Non-propagated Wave Values = ((2*pi)/Wave Period)*(Time Averaged Water Depth/[g])^0.5

Wave Period in Non-propagated Wave Values

Go Wave Period = (2*pi*(Time Averaged Water Depth/[g])^(1/2))/Non-propagated Wave Values

Effect of Current on Wave Height

Go Wave Height = Inlet Current Wave Height Factor*Wave Height Entering Inlet

Inlet Current Wave Height Factor

Go Inlet Current Wave Height Factor = Wave Height/Wave Height Entering Inlet

Wave Height Entering Inlet

Go Wave Height Entering Inlet = Wave Height/Inlet Current Wave Height Factor

Wave Height Entering Inlet Formula

Wave Height Entering Inlet = Wave Height/Inlet Current Wave Height Factor
H_A = H/R_H

What are the factors affecting Wave Height?

Wave Height is affected by wind speed, wind duration (or how long the wind blows), and fetch, which is the distance over water that the wind blows in a single direction. If wind speed is slow, only small waves result, regardless of wind duration or fetch.

How to Calculate Wave Height Entering Inlet?
