Deepwater Wave Height given Maximum Runup Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Deepwater Wave Height of Coast = Wave Runup/(2.32*Deepwater Surf Similarity Parameter^0.77)
H_d' = R/(2.32*ε₀^0.77)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Deepwater Wave Height of Coast - (Measured in Meter) - Deepwater Wave Height of Coast refers to the measurement of the vertical distance between the trough and the crest of a wave in deep water.
Wave Runup - (Measured in Meter) - Wave Runup is the maximum onshore elevation reached by waves, relative to the shoreline position in the absence of waves.
Deepwater Surf Similarity Parameter - Deepwater Surf Similarity Parameter compares the wave surface slope to the bed slope in the surf zone and represents important features of the hydrodynamics of the surf zone.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wave Runup: 20 Meter --> 20 Meter No Conversion Required
Deepwater Surf Similarity Parameter: 12 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H_d' = R/(2.32*ε₀^0.77) --> 20/(2.32*12^0.77)

Evaluating ... ...

H_d' = 1.27224997589367

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.27224997589367 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.27224997589367 ≈ 1.27225 Meter <-- Deepwater Wave Height of Coast

Deepwater Surf Similarity Parameter given Maximum Runup

Go Deepwater Surf Similarity Parameter = (Wave Runup/Deepwater Wave Height*2.32)^(1/0.77)

Deepwater Wave Height given Maximum Runup Formula

Deepwater Wave Height of Coast = Wave Runup/(2.32*Deepwater Surf Similarity Parameter^0.77)
H_d' = R/(2.32*ε₀^0.77)

What is Wave Runup?

Wave runup is the maximum vertical extent of wave uprush on a beach or structure above the still water level (SWL) (Sorensen, 1997). This definition is depicted in the figure below. Wave runup is an important process in causing and or promoting bluff erosion.
