Effect of Current on Wave Height Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wave Height = Inlet Current Wave Height Factor*Wave Height Entering Inlet
H = R_h*H_A
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Wave Height - (Measured in Meter) - Wave Height of a surface wave is the difference between the elevations of a crest and a neighboring trough.
Inlet Current Wave Height Factor - Inlet Current Wave Height Factor is the ratio of wave height and wave height entering inlet.
Wave Height Entering Inlet - (Measured in Meter) - Wave Height Entering Inlet [length] is the height of the wave measured at that the inlet.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Inlet Current Wave Height Factor: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required
Wave Height Entering Inlet: 100 Meter --> 100 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H = R_h*H_A --> 0.8*100

Evaluating ... ...

H = 80

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

80 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

80 Meter <-- Wave Height

What is Wave-current Interaction?

The region where the navigation channel intersects and/or passes through the outer ebb shoal can be a region of intense wave-current interaction. Wave-current interaction can produce difficult navigation and dredge operation conditions. Also, interaction of waves, currents, and local bathymetry/channel typically produces the most severe channel shoaling problems at inlets.

What are the factors affecting Wave Height?

Wave Height is affected by wind speed, wind duration (or how long the wind blows), and fetch, which is the distance the wind blows in a single direction over water. If wind speed is slow, only small waves result, regardless of wind duration or fetch.

How to Calculate Effect of Current on Wave Height?

Effect of Current on Wave Height calculator uses Wave Height = Inlet Current Wave Height Factor*Wave Height Entering Inlet to calculate the Wave Height, The Effect of Current on Wave Height is defined as a graphical method presented by Herchenroder (1981) based on work by Jonsson et al. (1970). Wave Height is denoted by H symbol.

How to calculate Effect of Current on Wave Height using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Effect of Current on Wave Height, enter Inlet Current Wave Height Factor (R_h) & Wave Height Entering Inlet (H_A) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Effect of Current on Wave Height calculation can be explained with given input values -> 80 = 0.8*100.

FAQ

What is Effect of Current on Wave Height?

The Effect of Current on Wave Height is defined as a graphical method presented by Herchenroder (1981) based on work by Jonsson et al. (1970) and is represented as H = R_h*H_A or Wave Height = Inlet Current Wave Height Factor*Wave Height Entering Inlet. Inlet Current Wave Height Factor is the ratio of wave height and wave height entering inlet & Wave Height Entering Inlet [length] is the height of the wave measured at that the inlet.

How to calculate Effect of Current on Wave Height?
