Average of Waves given Significant Wave Height Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Average of All Waves = Significant Wave Height/1.596
H' = H_s/1.596
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Average of All Waves - Average of All Waves based on the Rayleigh Distribution is the mean value of all the waves.
Significant Wave Height - (Measured in Meter) - Significant Wave Height is the mean wave height of the highest one-third of the waves.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Significant Wave Height: 65 Meter --> 65 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H' = H_s/1.596 --> 65/1.596

Evaluating ... ...

H' = 40.7268170426065

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

40.7268170426065 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

40.7268170426065 ≈ 40.72682 <-- Average of All Waves

What is Significant Wave Height?

Significant Wave Height is defined as the average wave height, from trough to crest, of the highest one-third of the waves. Devised by oceanographer Walter Munk during World War II, the significant wave height provides an estimation of wave heights recorded by a trained observer from a fixed point at sea.

What is Wave Number?

Wave Number is the spatial frequency of a wave in a given medium, typically measured in reciprocal units of distance, such as radians per meter or cycles per meter.
