Setup above Pool Level using Zuider Zee Formula Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Height of Wave = ((Wind Velocity*Wind Velocity)*Fetch length*cos(Theta))/(1400*Water Depth)
h_a = ((V_w*V_w)*F*cos(θ))/(1400*d)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 5 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)

Variables Used

Height of Wave - (Measured in Meter) - Height of Wave is the distance between the lowest and highest points of a person/ shape/ object standing upright.
Wind Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Wind Velocity is an air moving from high to low pressure, usually due to changes in temperature that is the horizontal movement of air specified by its speed and direction.
Fetch length - (Measured in Meter) - Fetch Length is the horizontal distance over which wave-generating winds blow.
Theta - (Measured in Radian) - Theta is an angle that can be defined as the figure formed by two rays meeting at a common endpoint.
Water Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Water Depth of the considered catchment. Water depth means the depth as measured from the water level to the bottom of the considered water body.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wind Velocity: 20 Meter per Second --> 20 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Fetch length: 44 Meter --> 44 Meter No Conversion Required
Theta: 30 Degree --> 0.5235987755982 Radian (Check conversion here)
Water Depth: 0.98 Meter --> 0.98 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_a = ((V_w*V_w)*F*cos(θ))/(1400*d) --> ((20*20)*44*cos(0.5235987755982))/(1400*0.98)

Evaluating ... ...

h_a = 11.1093637803252

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

11.1093637803252 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

11.1093637803252 ≈ 11.10936 Meter <-- Height of Wave

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Setup above Pool Level using Zuider Zee Formula Formula

LaTeX Go

Height of Wave = ((Wind Velocity*Wind Velocity)*Fetch length*cos(Theta))/(1400*Water Depth)
h_a = ((V_w*V_w)*F*cos(θ))/(1400*d)

What is Freeboard?

Freeboard (sometimes termed net freeboard) is the vertical distance between the maximum water surface of the spillway design flood and the crown of the dam. This vertical distance should be ample to prevent overtopping of the dam due to wind setup and wave action.
