What is Wave Reflection on Structures?
If there is a change in water depth as a wave propagates forward, a portion of the wave’s energy will be reflected. When a wave hits a vertical, impermeable, rigid surface-piercing wall, essentially all of the wave energy will reflect from the wall. On the other hand, when a wave propagates over a small bottom slope, only a very small portion of the energy will be reflected. The degree of wave reflection is defined by the reflection coefficient Cr = Hr/Hi where Hr and Hi are the reflected and incident wave heights, respectively.
How to Calculate Basin Length along Axis for Closed Basin?
Basin Length along Axis for Closed Basin calculator uses Length of Basin along Axis = Natural Free Oscillating Period of a Basin*Number of Nodes along the Axis of a Basin*sqrt([g]*Water Depth at Harbor)/2 to calculate the Length of Basin along Axis, The Basin Length along Axis for Closed Basin formula is defined as the longest distance measured along the principal axis (usually the longest dimension) of a closed basin. A closed basin is a geographical or man-made depression that collects water and does not have a surface outflow to other bodies of water like rivers or oceans. Length of Basin along Axis is denoted by Lba symbol.
How to calculate Basin Length along Axis for Closed Basin using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Basin Length along Axis for Closed Basin, enter Natural Free Oscillating Period of a Basin (Tn), Number of Nodes along the Axis of a Basin (N) & Water Depth at Harbor (d) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Basin Length along Axis for Closed Basin calculation can be explained with given input values -> 11.47179 = 5.5*1.3*sqrt([g]*1.05)/2.
