Salinity at Moment of Slack Water Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Salinity at the Moment of Slack Water = Salinity of Water*exp(-(18*10^-6)*Fresh Water River Flow*Coordinate along the Channel^2-(0.045*Fresh Water River Flow^0.5))
Ss = S*exp(-(18*10^-6)*Q_r*x^2-(0.045*Q_r^0.5))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

exp - n an exponential function, the value of the function changes by a constant factor for every unit change in the independent variable., exp(Number)

Variables Used

Salinity at the Moment of Slack Water - Salinity at the Moment of Slack Water refers to the salinity level measured during the tide's turning point, when there is minimal or no horizontal movement of tidal water.
Salinity of Water - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Salinity of Water is the saltiness or amount of salt dissolved in a body of water, called saline water (see also soil salinity).
Fresh Water River Flow - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Fresh Water River Flow is the degree of mixing in an estuary and can be approximately related to the ratio between the volume of the tidal prism and the river flow.
Coordinate along the Channel - (Measured in Meter) - Coordinate along the Channel refers to the distance measured along the length of the channel from a reference point, such as the upstream end of the channel.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Salinity of Water: 33.33 Milligram per Liter --> 0.03333 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Fresh Water River Flow: 5 Cubic Meter per Second --> 5 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Coordinate along the Channel: 17 Meter --> 17 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Ss = S*exp(-(18*10^-6)*Q_r*x^2-(0.045*Q_r^0.5)) --> 0.03333*exp(-(18*10^-6)*5*17^2-(0.045*5^0.5))

Evaluating ... ...

Ss = 0.0293656267837522

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0293656267837522 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0293656267837522 ≈ 0.029366 <-- Salinity at the Moment of Slack Water

What does Slack mean for Tides?

Slack water, which used to be known as 'The stand of the tide', is a short period in a body of tidal water either side of high water or low water essentially when the water is completely unstressed, and therefore with no rise or fall of the tide and no movement either way in the tidal stream.

How to Calculate Salinity at Moment of Slack Water?

Salinity at Moment of Slack Water calculator uses Salinity at the Moment of Slack Water = Salinity of Water*exp(-(18*10^-6)*Fresh Water River Flow*Coordinate along the Channel^2-(0.045*Fresh Water River Flow^0.5)) to calculate the Salinity at the Moment of Slack Water, The Salinity at Moment of Slack Water formula is defined as the salinity at a short period in a body of tidal water when the water is completely unstressed, and there is no movement either way in the tidal stream, and which occurs before the direction of the tidal stream reverses. Salinity at the Moment of Slack Water is denoted by Ss symbol.

How to calculate Salinity at Moment of Slack Water using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Salinity at Moment of Slack Water, enter Salinity of Water (S), Fresh Water River Flow (Q_r) & Coordinate along the Channel (x) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Salinity at Moment of Slack Water calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.029366 = 0.03333*exp(-(18*10^-6)*5*17^2-(0.045*5^0.5)).

FAQ

What is Salinity at Moment of Slack Water?

The Salinity at Moment of Slack Water formula is defined as the salinity at a short period in a body of tidal water when the water is completely unstressed, and there is no movement either way in the tidal stream, and which occurs before the direction of the tidal stream reverses and is represented as Ss = S*exp(-(18*10^-6)*Q_r*x^2-(0.045*Q_r^0.5)) or Salinity at the Moment of Slack Water = Salinity of Water*exp(-(18*10^-6)*Fresh Water River Flow*Coordinate along the Channel^2-(0.045*Fresh Water River Flow^0.5)). Salinity of Water is the saltiness or amount of salt dissolved in a body of water, called saline water (see also soil salinity), Fresh Water River Flow is the degree of mixing in an estuary and can be approximately related to the ratio between the volume of the tidal prism and the river flow & Coordinate along the Channel refers to the distance measured along the length of the channel from a reference point, such as the upstream end of the channel.

How to calculate Salinity at Moment of Slack Water?
