Fetch Length given Scaling Parameter Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Fetch Length = (Wind Speed at Height of 10 m^2*((Dimensionless Scaling Parameter/0.076)^-(1/0.22)))/[g]
F_l = (V₁₀^2*((α/0.076)^-(1/0.22)))/[g]
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Fetch Length - (Measured in Meter) - Fetch Length is the unobstructed distance that wind can travel over water in a constant direction.
Wind Speed at Height of 10 m - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Wind Speed at Height of 10 m refers to the average speed of the wind measured at a height of 10 meters above ground level.
Dimensionless Scaling Parameter - Dimensionless Scaling Parameter is a value used in mathematical or scientific models to scale or normalize variables without units. It is used in the JONSWAP spectrum for fetch-limited seas.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wind Speed at Height of 10 m: 22 Meter per Second --> 22 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Dimensionless Scaling Parameter: 0.1538 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_l = (V₁₀^2*((α/0.076)^-(1/0.22)))/[g] --> (22^2*((0.1538/0.076)^-(1/0.22)))/[g]

Evaluating ... ...

F_l = 2.0033958163034

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.0033958163034 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.0033958163034 ≈ 2.003396 Meter <-- Fetch Length

JONSWAP Spectrum for Fetch-limited Seas

LaTeX Go Frequency Energy Spectrum = ((Dimensionless Scaling Parameter*[g]^2)/((2*pi)^4*Wave Frequency^5))*(exp(-1.25*(Wave Frequency/Frequency at Spectral Peak)^-4)*Peak Enhancement Factor)^exp(-((Wave Frequency/Frequency at Spectral Peak)-1)^2/(2*Standard Deviation^2))

Fetch Length given Frequency at Spectral Peak

LaTeX Go Fetch Length = ((Wind Speed at Height of 10 m^3)*((Frequency at Spectral Peak/3.5)^-(1/0.33)))/[g]^2

Frequency at Spectral Peak

LaTeX Go Frequency at Spectral Peak = 3.5*(([g]^2*Fetch Length)/Wind Speed at Height of 10 m^3)^-0.33

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.
