Elevation of Water Surface Relative to SWL Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Elevation of Water Surface = Wave Amplitude*cos(Theta)
η = a*cos(θ)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)

Variables Used

Elevation of Water Surface - (Measured in Meter) - Elevation of Water Surface relative to the SWL, Standing Water Level recorded for the water well.
Wave Amplitude - (Measured in Meter) - Wave Amplitude is a measurement of the vertical distance of the wave from the average.
Theta - (Measured in Radian) - Theta is an angle that can be defined as the figure formed by two rays meeting at a common endpoint.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wave Amplitude: 1.56 Meter --> 1.56 Meter No Conversion Required
Theta: 30 Degree --> 0.5235987755982 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

η = a*cos(θ) --> 1.56*cos(0.5235987755982)

Evaluating ... ...

η = 1.35099962990372

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.35099962990372 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.35099962990372 ≈ 1.351 Meter <-- Elevation of Water Surface

Elevation of Water Surface Relative to SWL Formula

LaTeX Go

Elevation of Water Surface = Wave Amplitude*cos(Theta)
η = a*cos(θ)

What is Celerity in open channel flow?

The open channel Surges due to sudden changes of flow depth creates Celerity (Wave Velocity) in the flow in addition to the normal water velocity of the channels. These waves travel in the downstream and sometimes upstream of the channels depending on the various situations.
