What are Closed Basins?

Enclosed basins can experience oscillations due to a variety of causes. Lake oscillations are usually the result of a sudden change, or a series of intermittent-periodic changes, in atmospheric pressure or wind velocity. Oscillations in canals can be initiated by suddenly adding or subtracting large quantities of water. Harbor oscillations are usually initiated by forcing through the entrance; hence, they deviate from a true closed basin. Local seismic activity can also create oscillations in an enclosed basin.

What are Open Basins?

Open Basins are Exorheic, or open lakes drain into a river, or other body of water that ultimately drains into the ocean.

How to Calculate Maximum Horizontal Particle Excursion at Node?

Maximum Horizontal Particle Excursion at Node calculator uses Maximum Horizontal Particle Excursion = (Standing Wave Height of Ocean*Natural Free Oscillating Period of a Basin/2*pi)*sqrt([g]/Water Depth) to calculate the Maximum Horizontal Particle Excursion, The Maximum Horizontal Particle Excursion at Node formula is defined as the integral dependent on wave characteristics. For shallow water waves, water parcels make elliptical motions, horizontal excursion is independent of depth, while vertical excursion decays linearly with depth and collapses to purely horizontal motion near bottom. Maximum Horizontal Particle Excursion is denoted by X symbol.
