Maximum Velocity of Solitary Wave Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Velocity of Solitary Wave = (Celerity of the Wave*Function of H/d as N)/(1+cos(Function of Wave Height*Elevation above the Bottom/Water Depth from Bed))
u_max = (C*N)/(1+cos(M*y/D_w))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 6 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)

Variables Used

Maximum Velocity of Solitary Wave - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Maximum Velocity of Solitary Wave is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time.
Celerity of the Wave - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Celerity of the Wave refers to the speed at which a wave propagates through a medium.
Function of H/d as N - Function of H/d as N obtained from the graph of functions M and N in Solitary Wave Theory (Munk, 1949).
Function of Wave Height - Function of Wave Height typically describes how the height of waves is influenced by various factors such as wind speed, wind duration, and the fetch.
Elevation above the Bottom - (Measured in Meter) - Elevation above the Bottom refers to the height or depth of an object or feature above the seabed or ocean floor.
Water Depth from Bed - (Measured in Meter) - Water Depth from Bed means the depth as measured from the water level to the bottom of the considered water body.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Celerity of the Wave: 24.05 Meter per Second --> 24.05 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Function of H/d as N: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
Function of Wave Height: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required
Elevation above the Bottom: 4.92 Meter --> 4.92 Meter No Conversion Required
Water Depth from Bed: 45 Meter --> 45 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

u_max = (C*N)/(1+cos(M*y/D_w)) --> (24.05*0.5)/(1+cos(0.8*4.92/45))

Evaluating ... ...

u_max = 6.02401421283649

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

6.02401421283649 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

6.02401421283649 ≈ 6.024014 Meter per Second <-- Maximum Velocity of Solitary Wave

What is Solitary Wave?

A solitary wave is a wave which propagates without any temporal evolution in shape or size when viewed in the reference frame moving with the group velocity of the wave. For example, two solitons propagating in opposite directions effectively pass through each other without breaking.

How to Calculate Maximum Velocity of Solitary Wave?

Maximum Velocity of Solitary Wave calculator uses Maximum Velocity of Solitary Wave = (Celerity of the Wave*Function of H/d as N)/(1+cos(Function of Wave Height*Elevation above the Bottom/Water Depth from Bed)) to calculate the Maximum Velocity of Solitary Wave, The Maximum Velocity of Solitary Wave is defined as the velocity of a wave, equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency (number of vibrations per second) and is independent of its intensity. Maximum Velocity of Solitary Wave is denoted by u_max symbol.
