Shoaling Coefficient

LaTeX Go Shoaling Coefficient = (tanh(Wave Number for Water Wave*Coastal Mean Depth)*(1+(2*Wave Number for Water Wave*Coastal Mean Depth/sinh(2*Wave Number for Water Wave*Coastal Mean Depth))))^-0.5

Deepwater Wave Height for Shoaling Coefficient and Refraction Coefficient

LaTeX Go Wave Height in Deepwater = Wave Height for Surface Gravity Waves/(Shoaling Coefficient*Refraction Coefficient)

Refraction Coefficient

LaTeX Go Refraction Coefficient = sqrt(Distance Between Two Rays at Deepwater/Distance Between Two Rays)

Distance between Two Rays at General Point

LaTeX Go Distance Between Two Rays = Distance Between Two Rays at Deepwater/Refraction Coefficient^2

Distance between Two Rays at General Point Formula

LaTeX Go

Distance Between Two Rays = Distance Between Two Rays at Deepwater/Refraction Coefficient^2
b = b₀/K_r^2

What does Shoaling Mean?

Shoaling is the deformation of incident waves on the lower shore face that starts when the water depth becomes less than about half of the wavelength, causing the waves to become steeper: increase in amplitude and decrease in wavelength

What is the refraction of waves?

Refraction, in physics, the change in direction of a wave passing from one medium to another caused by its change in speed. For example, waves in deep water travel faster than in shallow.
