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.
King’s Dimensionless Velocity - King’s Dimensionless Velocity is measure of fluid flow independent of scale, expressed as the ratio of velocity to a characteristic speed.
Ocean Tide Amplitude - (Measured in Meter) - Ocean Tide Amplitude is the height difference between high and low tides, reflecting gravitational forces from the moon and sun.
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.
Tidal Period - (Measured in Second) - Tidal Period is the time taken for a specific site on Earth to rotate from an exact point under moon to same point under moon, also known as “tidal day” and it’s slightly longer than a solar day.
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

King’s Dimensionless Velocity: 110 --> No Conversion Required
Ocean Tide Amplitude: 4 Meter --> 4 Meter No Conversion Required
Surface Area of Bay: 1.5001 Square Meter --> 1.5001 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Tidal Period: 130 Second --> 130 Second 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 = (V'_m*2*pi*a_o*A_b)/(T*V_m) --> (110*2*pi*4*1.5001)/(130*4.1)

Evaluating ... ...

A_avg = 7.7808231949194

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

7.7808231949194 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

7.7808231949194 ≈ 7.780823 Square Meter <-- Average Area over the Channel Length

What is 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.
