Average Area over Channel Length given Tidal Prism of Non-Sinusoidal Prototype Flow Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Average Area over the Channel Length = (Tidal Prism Filling Bay*pi*Keulegan Constant for Non-sinusoidal Character)/(Tidal Duration*Maximum Cross Sectional Average Velocity)
A_avg = (P*pi*C)/(T*V_m)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 5 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

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.
Tidal Prism Filling Bay - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Tidal Prism Filling Bay 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.
Keulegan Constant for Non-sinusoidal Character - Keulegan Constant for Non-sinusoidal Character quantifies drag force on structures exposed to irregular water flow, aiding design considerations.
Tidal Duration - (Measured in Year) - Tidal duration is an efficient way of guesstimating how much water there is, at any given time of day, over a particular point.
Maximum Cross Sectional Average Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Maximum Cross Sectional Average Velocity during a tidal cycle which is the periodic rise and fall of the waters of the ocean and its inlets.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Tidal Prism Filling Bay: 32 Cubic Meter --> 32 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Keulegan Constant for Non-sinusoidal Character: 1.01 --> No Conversion Required
Tidal Duration: 2 Year --> 2 Year No Conversion Required
Maximum Cross Sectional Average Velocity: 4.1 Meter per Second --> 4.1 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A_avg = (P*pi*C)/(T*V_m) --> (32*pi*1.01)/(2*4.1)

Evaluating ... ...

A_avg = 12.3824725078076

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

12.3824725078076 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

12.3824725078076 ≈ 12.38247 Square Meter <-- Average Area over the Channel Length

What is Tidal Prism?

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. It can also be thought of as the volume of the incoming tide plus the river discharge.

What is Inlet Flow Patterns?

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.
