Average Harbor Depth Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Average Harbor Depth = (Difference between High and Low Tide level*Total Harbor Volume)/Tidal Prism Filling Bay
h' = (Δh*V)/P
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Average Harbor Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Average Harbor Depth from its nomenclature can be suggested that is different from regular ports in respect of the depth of water.
Difference between High and Low Tide level - (Measured in Meter) - Difference between High and Low Tide level is the difference between the two tide levels.
Total Harbor Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Total Harbor Volume is defined as the volume of a part of a body of water (as a sea or lake) so protected as to be a place of safety for ships.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Difference between High and Low Tide level: 21 Meter --> 21 Meter No Conversion Required
Total Harbor Volume: 6.4 Cubic Meter --> 6.4 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Tidal Prism Filling Bay: 32 Cubic Meter --> 32 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h' = (Δh*V)/P --> (21*6.4)/32

Evaluating ... ...

h' = 4.2

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.2 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.2 Meter <-- Average Harbor Depth

< Density Currents in Harbors Calculators

Total Water Volume Exchanged during entire Tide Period

LaTeX Go Total Water Volume = Coefficient for Harbors*Cross Sectional Area of Entrance*sqrt(Broad Sense Heritability*Average Harbor Depth)

Velocity in Dry Bed Curve

LaTeX Go Velocity in Dry Bed Curve = 0.45*sqrt(Broad Sense Heritability*[g]*Water Depth)

Water Depth given Velocity in Dry Bed Curve

LaTeX Go Water Depth = ((Velocity in Dry Bed Curve/0.45)^2)/(Broad Sense Heritability*[g])

Relative Density given Velocity in Dry Bed Curve

LaTeX Go Broad Sense Heritability = Velocity in Dry Bed Curve^2/(0.45*[g]*Water Depth)

Average Harbor Depth Formula

LaTeX Go

Average Harbor Depth = (Difference between High and Low Tide level*Total Harbor Volume)/Tidal Prism Filling Bay
h' = (Δh*V)/P

What is Density Current?

Density current, any current in either a liquid or a gas that is kept in motion by the force of gravity acting on differences in density. A density difference can exist between two fluids because of a difference in temperature, salinity, or concentration of suspended sediment.
