Density Influence Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Density Influence = (Density Current Velocity-Filling Current Velocity)*Time Interval/(2*Length of Harbor)
α_D = (V_D-V_f)*T_D/(2*L)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Density Influence - Density Influence influencing Ratio of Water Volume entering the Harbor per Tide to the Harbor Volume.
Density Current Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Density Current Velocity dependent upon the filling current component.
Filling Current Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Filling Current Velocity dependent upon the filling current component are horizontal movements which range in magnitude.
Time Interval - (Measured in Second) - Time Interval over which the Density Difference exists.
Length of Harbor - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Harbor dependent upon the filling current component.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Density Current Velocity: 25 Meter per Second --> 25 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Filling Current Velocity: 7 Meter per Second --> 7 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Time Interval: 130 Second --> 130 Second No Conversion Required
Length of Harbor: 180 Meter --> 180 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

α_D = (V_D-V_f)*T_D/(2*L) --> (25-7)*130/(2*180)

Evaluating ... ...

α_D = 6.5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.5 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6.5 <-- Density Influence

What is Density Current?

A current that is produced by differences in density. Where a flow of sea water has a greater density than that of the water surrounding it, the denser water will dive beneath the less dense water. The density of sea water is affected by temperature, salinity, and the content of suspended sediment.

How to Calculate Density Influence?

Density Influence calculator uses Density Influence = (Density Current Velocity-Filling Current Velocity)*Time Interval/(2*Length of Harbor) to calculate the Density Influence, The Density Influence formula is defined as factor not independent of the harbour filling but is dependent upon the filling current component as well. Density Influence is denoted by α_D symbol.

How to calculate Density Influence using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Density Influence, enter Density Current Velocity (V_D), Filling Current Velocity (V_f), Time Interval (T_D) & Length of Harbor (L) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Density Influence calculation can be explained with given input values -> 6.5 = (25-7)*130/(2*180).
