How to Calculate Deepwater Wave Height given Surf Similarity Parameter?
Deepwater Wave Height given Surf Similarity Parameter calculator uses Wave Height of Surf Zone Waves = Length of Surf Zone Waves*(Surf Zone Waves Similarity Parameter/tan(Slope of Beach of Surf Zone Waves))^(-1/0.5) to calculate the Wave Height of Surf Zone Waves, The Deepwater Wave Height given Surf Similarity Parameter formula is defined as the difference between elevations of a crest and neighbouring trough given the dimensionless parameter used in coastal engineering to model several effects of (breaking) surface gravity waves on beaches and coastal structures. Wave Height of Surf Zone Waves is denoted by Ho symbol.
How to calculate Deepwater Wave Height given Surf Similarity Parameter using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Deepwater Wave Height given Surf Similarity Parameter, enter Length of Surf Zone Waves (Lo), Surf Zone Waves Similarity Parameter (ξo) & Slope of Beach of Surf Zone Waves (β) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Deepwater Wave Height given Surf Similarity Parameter calculation can be explained with given input values -> 6.007305 = 3*(0.408/tan(0.5235987755982))^(-1/0.5).
