Duration of Wind in SMB Prediction Method Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Duration of the Wind = Wind Speed*6.5882*exp((0.0161*(ln(Fetch Parameter)^2)-0.3692*ln(Fetch Parameter)+2.2024)^0.5+0.8798*ln(Fetch Parameter))/[g]
d = U*6.5882*exp((0.0161*(ln(φ)^2)-0.3692*ln(φ)+2.2024)^0.5+0.8798*ln(φ))/[g]
This formula uses 1 Constants, 2 Functions, 3 Variables

Constants Used

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

Functions Used

ln - The natural logarithm, also known as the logarithm to the base e, is the inverse function of the natural exponential function., ln(Number)
exp - n an exponential function, the value of the function changes by a constant factor for every unit change in the independent variable., exp(Number)

Variables Used

Duration of the Wind - (Measured in Second) - Duration of the Wind is the length of time during which the wind blows with a certain speed and direction.
Wind Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Wind Speed is a fundamental atmospheric quantity caused by air moving from high to low pressure, usually due to changes in temperature.
Fetch Parameter - Fetch Parameter is often associated with the concept of fetch, which is the unobstructed distance over which the wind blows across a body of water in a constant direction.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wind Speed: 4 Meter per Second --> 4 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Fetch Parameter: 1.22 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d = U*6.5882*exp((0.0161*(ln(φ)^2)-0.3692*ln(φ)+2.2024)^0.5+0.8798*ln(φ))/[g] --> 4*6.5882*exp((0.0161*(ln(1.22)^2)-0.3692*ln(1.22)+2.2024)^0.5+0.8798*ln(1.22))/[g]

Evaluating ... ...

d = 13.7740288660136

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

13.7740288660136 Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

13.7740288660136 ≈ 13.77403 Second <-- Duration of the Wind

What is Significant Wave Height?

Significant wave height is defined as the average wave height, from trough to crest, of the highest one-third of the waves. Devised by oceanographer Walter Munk during World War II, the significant wave height provides an estimation of wave heights recorded by a trained observer from a fixed point at sea.

How to Calculate Duration of Wind in SMB Prediction Method?

Duration of Wind in SMB Prediction Method calculator uses Duration of the Wind = Wind Speed*6.5882*exp((0.0161*(ln(Fetch Parameter)^2)-0.3692*ln(Fetch Parameter)+2.2024)^0.5+0.8798*ln(Fetch Parameter))/[g] to calculate the Duration of the Wind, The Duration of Wind in SMB Prediction Method formula is defined as the wind speed parameter influencing the Sverdrup-Munk-Bretschneider (SMB) method, which is a semi-empirical method that has been used for the prediction of the significant wave height (H_s) in global watersheds. Duration of the Wind is denoted by d symbol.

How to calculate Duration of Wind in SMB Prediction Method using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Duration of Wind in SMB Prediction Method, enter Wind Speed (U) & Fetch Parameter (φ) and hit the calculate button.
