Average Area over Channel Length for Flow through Inlet into Bay Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Average Area over the Channel Length = (Surface Area of Bay*Change of Bay Elevation with Time)/Average Velocity in Channel for Flow
A_avg = (A_b*d_Bay)/V_avg
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Average Area over the Channel Length - (Measured in Square Meter) - Average Area over the Channel Length is calculated with surface area of bay, change of bay elevation with time and average velocity in channel for flow.
Surface Area of Bay - (Measured in Square Meter) - Surface Area of Bay is defined as a small body of water set off from the main body.
Change of Bay Elevation with Time - Change of Bay Elevation with Time is calculated with the average area over the channel length, average velocity in the channel for flow, and surface area of the bay.
Average Velocity in Channel for Flow - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Average Velocity in Channel for flow through inlet into the bay.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Surface Area of Bay: 1.5001 Square Meter --> 1.5001 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Change of Bay Elevation with Time: 20 --> No Conversion Required
Average Velocity in Channel for Flow: 3.75 Meter per Second --> 3.75 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A_avg = (A_b*d_Bay)/V_avg --> (1.5001*20)/3.75

Evaluating ... ...

A_avg = 8.00053333333333

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

8.00053333333333 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

8.00053333333333 ≈ 8.000533 Square Meter <-- Average Area over the Channel Length

What are Seiches?

Seiches are standing waves or oscillations of the free surface of a body of water in a closed or semi-closed basin. These oscillations are of relatively long periods, extending from minutes in harbours and bays to over 10 hr in the Great Lakes. Any external perturbation to the lake or embayment can force an oscillation. In harbours, the forcing can be the result of short waves and wave groups at the harbour entrance. Examples include 30- to 400-sec wave-forced oscillations in the Los Angeles-Long Beach harbour (Seabergh 1985).

What is Inlet flow Pattern & Tidal Prism?

An Inlet has a "gorge" where flows converge before they expand again on the opposite side. Shoal (shallow) areas that extend backward and oceanward from the gorge depend on inlet hydraulics, wave conditions, and general geomorphology. All these interact to determine flow patterns in and around the inlet and locations where flow channels occur.
A Tidal Prism is the volume of water in an estuary or inlet between mean high tide and mean low tide, or the volume of water leaving an estuary at ebb tide. The inter-tidal prism volume can be expressed by the relationship: P=H A, where H is the average tidal range and A is the average surface area of the basin.
