Root Mean Square Wave Height at Breaking Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Root Mean Square Wave Height = 0.42*Local Depth
H_rms = 0.42*d_l
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Root Mean Square Wave Height - (Measured in Meter) - Root Mean Square Wave Height is a parameter influencing the Breaker Height Index that is commonly used to define the wave height at breaking in the saturated zones.
Local Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Local Depth refers to the vertical distance from a specified datum to the sea floor is a critical parameter in many coastal processes, wave transformation, sediment transport, and structure design.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Local Depth: 20 Meter --> 20 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H_rms = 0.42*d_l --> 0.42*20

Evaluating ... ...

H_rms = 8.4

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

8.4 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

8.4 Meter <-- Root Mean Square Wave Height
