What is Wave Reflection on Structures?
If there is a change in water depth as a wave propagates forward, a portion of the wave’s energy will be reflected. When a wave hits a vertical, impermeable, rigid surface-piercing wall, essentially all of the wave energy will reflect from the wall. On the other hand, when a wave propagates over a small bottom slope, only a very small portion of the energy will be reflected. The degree of wave reflection is defined by the reflection coefficient Cr = Hr/Hi where Hr and Hi are the reflected and incident wave heights, respectively.
How to Calculate Natural Free Oscillation Period for Closed Basin?
Natural Free Oscillation Period for Closed Basin calculator uses Natural Free Oscillating Period of a Basin = (2*Basin Length)/(Number of Nodes along the Axis of a Basin*sqrt([g]*Depth of Water)) to calculate the Natural Free Oscillating Period of a Basin, The Natural Free Oscillation Period for Closed Basin formula is defined as the time it takes for a waterbody within a closed or semi-enclosed basin, like a bay or a lagoon, to undergo a complete cycle of oscillation when disturbed from its equilibrium state. Natural Free Oscillating Period of a Basin is denoted by Tn symbol.
How to calculate Natural Free Oscillation Period for Closed Basin using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Natural Free Oscillation Period for Closed Basin, enter Basin Length (LB), Number of Nodes along the Axis of a Basin (N) & Depth of Water (Dw) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Natural Free Oscillation Period for Closed Basin calculation can be explained with given input values -> 5.59876 = (2*180)/(1.3*sqrt([g]*105.4)).
