Height of Wave from Trough to Crest given Height of Wave Action by Zuider Zee Formula Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Wave Height - (Measured in Meter) - Wave Height of a surface wave is the difference between the elevations of a crest and a neighboring trough.
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.
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

Height of Wave: 12.2 Meter --> 12.2 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 = h_a/(0.75+1.5*(V_w^2)/(2*[g])) --> 12.2/(0.75+1.5*(20^2)/(2*[g]))

Evaluating ... ...

H = 0.389260415043696

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.389260415043696 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.389260415043696 ≈ 0.38926 Meter <-- Wave Height

Zuider Zee Formula for Fetch Length given Setup above Pool Level

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

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 from Trough to Crest given Height of Wave Action by Zuider Zee Formula Formula

LaTeX Go

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