Height of Wave Action using Zuider Zee Formula Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Height of Wave = Wave Height*(0.75+1.5*(Wind Velocity^2)/(2*[g]))
h_a = H*(0.75+1.5*(V_w^2)/(2*[g]))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

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

Variables Used

Height of Wave - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Wave is the distance between the lowest and highest points of a person/ shape/ object standing upright.
Wave Height - (Measured in Meter) - Wave Height of a surface wave is the difference between the elevations of a crest and a neighboring trough.
Wind Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Wind Velocity is an air moving from high to low pressure, usually due to changes in temperature that is the horizontal movement of air specified by its speed and direction.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wave Height: 0.4 Meter --> 0.4 Meter No Conversion Required
Wind Velocity: 20 Meter per Second --> 20 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_a = H*(0.75+1.5*(V_w^2)/(2*[g])) --> 0.4*(0.75+1.5*(20^2)/(2*[g]))

Evaluating ... ...

h_a = 12.5365945557351

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

12.5365945557351 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

12.5365945557351 ≈ 12.53659 Meter <-- Height of Wave

Zuider Zee formula for Average depth of Water given Setup above Pool level

LaTeX Go Water Depth = ((Wind Velocity*Wind Velocity)*Fetch length*cos(Theta))/(1400*Height of Wave)

Setup above Pool Level using Zuider Zee Formula

LaTeX Go Height of Wave = ((Wind Velocity*Wind Velocity)*Fetch length*cos(Theta))/(1400*Water Depth)

Angle of Incidence of Waves by Zuider Zee formula

LaTeX Go Theta = acos((Height of Dam*(1400*Water Depth))/((Wind Velocity for Freeboard^2)*Fetch length))

Height of Wave Action using Zuider Zee Formula Formula

LaTeX Go

Height of Wave = Wave Height*(0.75+1.5*(Wind Velocity^2)/(2*[g]))
h_a = H*(0.75+1.5*(V_w^2)/(2*[g]))

What is Freeboard?

Freeboard (sometimes termed net freeboard) is the vertical distance between the maximum water surface of the spillway design flood and the crown of the dam. This vertical distance should be ample to prevent overtopping of the dam due to wind setup and wave action.
