Mean Wave Period given Maximum Wave Period Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Mean Wave Period = Maximum Wave Period/Coefficient Eckman
T' = T_max/Δ
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Mean Wave Period - (Measured in Second) - Mean Wave Period is a statistical measure used in coastal and ocean engineering to describe the average time interval between successive wave crests passing a fixed point.
Maximum Wave Period - (Measured in Second) - Maximum Wave Period is the longest wave period observed or expected in a given set of ocean waves. It is a parameter that represents the upper bound of these intervals within a specific observation.
Coefficient Eckman - Coefficient Eckman is a parameter in the context of Ekman theory, which describes the effect of wind on the movement of ocean water.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Wave Period: 88 Second --> 88 Second No Conversion Required
Coefficient Eckman: 6 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T' = T_max/Δ --> 88/6

Evaluating ... ...

T' = 14.6666666666667

Wave Height for Horizontal Fluid Particle Displacement

Go Wave Height = Fluid Particle Displacement*(4*pi*Wavelength)*(cosh(2*pi*Water Depth/Wavelength))/([g]*Wave Period for Horizontal Fluid Particle^2)*((cosh(2*pi*(Distance above Bottom)/Wavelength)))*sin(Phase Angle)

Wave Height for Vertical Fluid Particle Displacement

Go Wave Height for Vertical Fluid Particle = Fluid Particle Displacement*(4*pi*Wavelength)*cosh(2*pi*Water Depth/Wavelength)/([g]*Wave Period^2*sinh(2*pi*(Distance above Bottom)/Wavelength)*cos(Phase Angle))

Wave Height given Wave Steepness

Go Wave Height = Wave Steepness*Wavelength

Wave Height given Wave Amplitude

Go Wave Height = 2*Wave Amplitude

Mean Wave Period given Maximum Wave Period Formula

Mean Wave Period = Maximum Wave Period/Coefficient Eckman
T' = T_max/Δ

What are the characteristics of Progressive Waves?

A progressive wave is formed due to continuous vibration of the particles of the medium.
The wave travels with a certain velocity.
There is a flow of energy in the direction of the wave.
No particles in the medium are at rest.
The amplitude of all the particles is the same.
