Minor Vertical Semi Axis for Shallow Water Condition Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Vertical Semi-Axis = (Height of the Wave/2)*(1+Sea Bed Elevation/Water Depth for Semi-Axis of Ellipse)
B = (H_w/2)*(1+Z/d_s)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Vertical Semi-Axis - Vertical Semi-Axis refers to a geometric property of an object or structure.
Height of the Wave - (Measured in Meter) - Height of the Wave is the difference between the elevations of a crest and a neighboring trough.
Sea Bed Elevation - Sea Bed Elevation refers to the measurement of the height or depth of the ocean floor relative to a specified reference point, such as mean sea level.
Water Depth for Semi-Axis of Ellipse - (Measured in Meter) - Water Depth for Semi-Axis of Ellipse is the depth of water from the bed of sea for semi-axis of ellipse.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Height of the Wave: 14 Meter --> 14 Meter No Conversion Required
Sea Bed Elevation: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required
Water Depth for Semi-Axis of Ellipse: 13.5 Meter --> 13.5 Meter No Conversion Required

How Does Depth Affect Wavelength?

The change from deep to shallow water waves occurs when the depth of the water, d, becomes less than one half of the wavelength of the wave, λ. The speed of deep-water waves depends on the wavelength of the waves. We say that deep-water waves show dispersion. A wave with a longer wavelength travels at higher speed.

What is a wavelength in the ocean?

Wavelength is the distance between two identical points on successive waves, for example crest to crest, or trough to trough. Wave steepness: the ratio of wave height to length (H/L).
