Deepwater Wave Height given Mean Runup Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Deepwater Wave Height = Mean Runup/(0.88*Deepwater Surf Similarity Parameter^0.69)
H_d = R'/(0.88*ε₀^0.69)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Deepwater Wave Height - (Measured in Meter) - Deepwater Wave Height refers to the measurement of the vertical distance between the trough and the crest of a wave in deep water.
Mean Runup - (Measured in Meter) - Mean Runup is the average maximum onshore elevation reached by waves, relative to the shoreline position in the absence of waves.
Deepwater Surf Similarity Parameter - Deepwater Surf Similarity Parameter compares the wave surface slope to the bed slope in the surf zone and represents important features of the hydrodynamics of the surf zone.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mean Runup: 43.8 Meter --> 43.8 Meter No Conversion Required
Deepwater Surf Similarity Parameter: 12 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H_d = R'/(0.88*ε₀^0.69) --> 43.8/(0.88*12^0.69)

Evaluating ... ...

What is Wave Runup?

Wave runup is the maximum vertical extent of wave uprush on a beach or structure above the still water level (SWL). It is the sum of wave set-up and swash uprush (see Swash zone dynamics) and must be added to the water level reached as a result of tides and wind set-up.
