Deepwater Wavelength given Wave Breaking and Wave Height at Breaking Point Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Deep-Water Wavelength = (Breaking Wave^2*Wave Height for Surface Gravity Waves)/Beach Slope^2
λ_o = (ξ^2*H_w)/β^2
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Deep-Water Wavelength - (Measured in Meter) - Deep-Water Wavelength is the horizontal distance between two successive crests (or troughs) of the wave.
Breaking Wave - Breaking Wave or breaker is a wave whose amplitude reaches a critical level at which some process can suddenly start to occur.
Wave Height for Surface Gravity Waves - (Measured in Meter) - The Wave Height for Surface Gravity Waves refers to the vertical distance between the trough (bottom) and crest (top) of a wave, measured from sea level.
Beach Slope - (Measured in Radian) - Beach Slope refers to the incline or gradient of the shoreline, determining the rate at which the beach elevation changes horizontally with distance from the water.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Breaking Wave: 0.229 --> No Conversion Required
Wave Height for Surface Gravity Waves: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Beach Slope: 0.15 Radian --> 0.15 Radian No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

λ_o = (ξ^2*H_w)/β^2 --> (0.229^2*3)/0.15^2

Evaluating ... ...

λ_o = 6.99213333333333

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.99213333333333 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6.99213333333333 ≈ 6.992133 Meter <-- Deep-Water Wavelength
