This formula uses 2 Functions, 5 Variables
Functions Used
sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)
cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)
Variables Used
Deepwater Wave Celerity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Deepwater Wave Celerity is the speed at which an individual wave advances or propagates occurring or existing in water of great depth.
Total Littoral Transport - Total Littoral Transport in the entire Breaker Zone is the transport of non-cohesive sediments in the littoral zone along shoreline mainly due to breaking waves.
Deepwater Wave Height - (Measured in Meter) - Deepwater Wave Height is the vertical distance between the crest (highest point) and the trough (lowest point) of a wave in deep water.
Refraction Coefficient - Refraction Coefficient when waves approach a plane base travelling from deep water into shallow water.
Angle of Wave Incidence - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Wave Incidence is the angle between the wave propagation direction and the normal to the coastline or the angle between the wavefront and the coastline.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Total Littoral Transport: 0.00386 --> No Conversion Required
Deepwater Wave Height: 3.5 Meter --> 3.5 Meter No Conversion Required
