What are Open basins - Helmholtz Resonance?

A harbor basin open to the sea through an inlet can resonate in a mode referred to as the Helmholtz or grave mode (Sorensen 1986b). This very long period mode appears to be particularly significant for harbors responding to tsunami energy and for several harbors on the Great Lakes that respond to long-wave energy spectra generated by storms (Miles 1974; Sorensen 1986; Sorensen and Seelig 1976).

How to Calculate Additional Length?

Additional Length calculator uses Additional Length of the Channel = ([g]*Cross Sectional Area*(Resonant Period/2*pi)^2/Surface Area)-Channel Length (Helmholtz Mode) to calculate the Additional Length of the Channel, The Additional Length formula is defined as the extended length of a structure or an element beyond its primary or original design length. This concept can apply to various aspects such as pipelines, breakwaters, groynes, jetties, or any coastal defense structure. Additional Length of the Channel is denoted by l'_c symbol.

What is Additional Length?

The Additional Length formula is defined as the extended length of a structure or an element beyond its primary or original design length. This concept can apply to various aspects such as pipelines, breakwaters, groynes, jetties, or any coastal defense structure and is represented as l'_c = ([g]*A_C*(T_r2/2*pi)^2/A_s)-L_ch or Additional Length of the Channel = ([g]*Cross Sectional Area*(Resonant Period/2*pi)^2/Surface Area)-Channel Length (Helmholtz Mode). Cross Sectional Area is the area of the channel when viewed in a plane perpendicular to the direction of flow, Resonant Period is the natural period of oscillation at which a body of water or a structure responds most strongly to external forcing, Surface Area is the extent of a two-dimensional surface within a three-dimensional space. This surface can pertain to various natural and man-made structures and phenomena & Channel Length (Helmholtz Mode) is the specific length of a coastal channel at which the natural frequency of the channel matches the frequency of incoming waves, leading to resonance.

How to calculate Additional Length?

The Additional Length formula is defined as the extended length of a structure or an element beyond its primary or original design length. This concept can apply to various aspects such as pipelines, breakwaters, groynes, jetties, or any coastal defense structure is calculated using Additional Length of the Channel = ([g]*Cross Sectional Area*(Resonant Period/2*pi)^2/Surface Area)-Channel Length (Helmholtz Mode). To calculate Additional Length, you need Cross Sectional Area (A_C), Resonant Period (T_r2), Surface Area (A_s) & Channel Length (Helmholtz Mode) (L_ch).
