Setup at Still-Water Shoreline Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Setup at the Still-Water Shore Line = Set Down at the Breaker Point+(1/(1+(8/(3*Coastal Breaker Depth Index^2))))*Water Depth at Breaking
η_s = η_b+(1/(1+(8/(3*Υ_b'^2))))*d_b
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Setup at the Still-Water Shore Line - (Measured in Meter) - Setup at the Still-Water Shore Line is the increase in mean water level due to the presence of breaking waves.
Set Down at the Breaker Point - (Measured in Meter) - Set Down at the Breaker Point where wave setdown is a wave-induced decrease of the mean water level before the waves break.
Coastal Breaker Depth Index - Coastal Breaker Depth Index is the ratio of the wave height at breaking, to the water depth, at the breakpoint.
Water Depth at Breaking - (Measured in Meter) - Water Depth at Breaking is the depth of water where ocean surface waves start to break as they approach the shore which depends on the wave climate and is therefore highly variable.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Set Down at the Breaker Point: 0.23 Meter --> 0.23 Meter No Conversion Required
Coastal Breaker Depth Index: 7.91 --> No Conversion Required
Water Depth at Breaking: 55 Meter --> 55 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

η_s = η_b+(1/(1+(8/(3*Υ_b'^2))))*d_b --> 0.23+(1/(1+(8/(3*7.91^2))))*55

Evaluating ... ...

η_s = 52.981710105501

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

52.981710105501 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

52.981710105501 ≈ 52.98171 Meter <-- Setup at the Still-Water Shore Line

Set down for Regular Waves

LaTeX Go Mean Water Surface Elevation of Coast = (-1/8)*((Wave Height^2*(2*pi/Wavelength of Coast))/(sinh(4*pi*Water Depth/Wavelength of Coast)))

Mean Water Surface Elevation given Total Water Depth

LaTeX Go Mean Water Surface Elevation = Coastal Water Depth-Still-Water Depth

Still Water Depth given Total Water Depth

LaTeX Go Still-Water Depth = Coastal Water Depth-Mean Water Surface Elevation

Total Water Depth

LaTeX Go Coastal Water Depth = Still-Water Depth+Mean Water Surface Elevation

What is the Difference Between Coastline and Shoreline?

The term coastline and shoreline are both boundary lines between water and land. The term coastline is generally used to describe the approximate boundaries at relatively large spatial scales. Shoreline is used to describe the precise location of the boundary between land and water.

Define Breaking Wave & cause of Regular Waves.

In fluid dynamics, a breaking wave or breaker is a wave whose amplitude reaches a critical level at which some process can suddenly start to occur causing large amounts of wave energy to be transformed into turbulent kinetic energy.
Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As the wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. The gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon on the Earth causes waves.

How to Calculate Setup at Still-Water Shoreline?

Setup at Still-Water Shoreline calculator uses Setup at the Still-Water Shore Line = Set Down at the Breaker Point+(1/(1+(8/(3*Coastal Breaker Depth Index^2))))*Water Depth at Breaking to calculate the Setup at the Still-Water Shore Line, The Setup at Still-Water Shoreline formula is defined as the increase in mean water level above the still water level due to momentum transfer to the water column by waves that are breaking or otherwise dissipating their energy. Setup at the Still-Water Shore Line is denoted by η_s symbol.
