Maximum Cross-Sectionally Averaged Velocity during Tidal Cycle given Tidal Prism Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Maximum Cross Sectional Average Velocity = (Tidal Prism Filling Bay*pi)/(Tidal Duration*Average Area over the Channel Length)
Vm = (P*pi)/(T*Aavg)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables
Constants Used
pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288
Variables Used
Maximum Cross Sectional Average Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Maximum Cross Sectional Average Velocity during a tidal cycle which is the periodic rise and fall of the waters of the ocean and its inlets.
Tidal Prism Filling Bay - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Tidal Prism Filling Bay is the volume of water in an estuary or inlet between mean high tide and mean low tide, or the volume of water leaving an estuary at ebb tide.
Tidal Duration - (Measured in Year) - Tidal duration is an efficient way of guesstimating how much water there is, at any given time of day, over a particular point.
Average Area over the Channel Length - (Measured in Square Meter) - Average Area over the Channel Length is calculated with surface area of bay, change of bay elevation with time and average velocity in channel for flow.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Tidal Prism Filling Bay: 32 Cubic Meter --> 32 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Tidal Duration: 2 Year --> 2 Year No Conversion Required
Average Area over the Channel Length: 8 Square Meter --> 8 Square Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Vm = (P*pi)/(T*Aavg) --> (32*pi)/(2*8)
Evaluating ... ...
Vm = 6.28318530717959
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
6.28318530717959 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
6.28318530717959 6.283185 Meter per Second <-- Maximum Cross Sectional Average Velocity
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is Tidal Prism?

A Tidal Prism is the volume of water in an estuary or inlet between mean high tide and mean low tide, or the volume of water leaving an estuary at ebb tide. It can also be thought of as the volume of the incoming tide plus the river discharge.

What is Inlet Flow Patterns?

An Inlet has a "gorge" where flows converge before they expand again on the opposite side. Shoal (shallow) areas that extend backward and oceanward from the gorge depend on inlet hydraulics, wave conditions, and general geomorphology. All these interact to determine flow patterns in and around the inlet and locations where flow channels occur.
