Characteristic Wave Height given Dimensionless Wave Height Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Characteristic Wave Height = (Dimensionless Wave Height*Friction Velocity^2)/[g]
H = (H'*V_f^2)/[g]
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Characteristic Wave Height - (Measured in Meter) - Characteristic wave height is originally taken as the significant wave height but more recently taken as the energy-based wave height.
Dimensionless Wave Height - Dimensionless Wave Height is denoted by H' symbol.
Friction Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Friction Velocity, also called shear velocity, is a form by which a shear stress may be re-written in units of velocity.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Dimensionless Wave Height: 30 --> No Conversion Required
Friction Velocity: 6 Meter per Second --> 6 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H = (H'*V_f^2)/[g] --> (30*6^2)/[g]

Evaluating ... ...

H = 110.129351001616

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

110.129351001616 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

110.129351001616 ≈ 110.1294 Meter <-- Characteristic Wave Height

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

What is Geostrophic wind?

The geostrophic flow is the theoretical wind that would result from an exact balance between the Coriolis force and the pressure gradient force. This condition is called geostrophic equilibrium or geostrophic balance. The geostrophic wind is directed parallel to isobars.
