Water Surface above Bottom

LaTeX Go Water Surface Ordinate = Water Depth from Bed+Height of the Wave*(sech(sqrt((3/4)*(Height of the Wave/Water Depth from Bed^3))*(Spatial (Progressive Wave)-(Celerity of the Wave*Temporal (Progressive Wave)))))^2

Wave Height given Celerity of Solitary Wave

LaTeX Go Height of the Wave = (Celerity of the Wave^2/[g])-Water Depth from Bed

Water Depth given Volume of Water within Wave above Still Water Level

LaTeX Go Water Depth from Bed = ((Volume of Water per Unit Crest Width)^2/((16/3)*Height of the Wave))^(1/3)

Volume of Water above Still Water Level per Unit Crest Width

LaTeX Go Volume of Water per Unit Crest Width = ((16/3)*Water Depth from Bed^3*Height of the Wave)^0.5

Empirical Relationship between Slope and Breaker Height-to-Water Depth Ratio Formula

LaTeX Go

Breaker Height-to-Water Depth Ratio = 0.75+(25*Wave Slope)-(112*Wave Slope^2)+(3870*Wave Slope^3)
HD_ratio = 0.75+(25*m)-(112*m^2)+(3870*m^3)

What are the Characteristics of Progressive Waves?

A progressive wave is formed due to continuous vibration of the particles of the medium.
The wave travels with a certain velocity.
There is a flow of energy in the direction of the wave.
No particles in the medium are at rest.
The amplitude of all the particles is the same.
