Change of Ebb Tidal Energy Flux across Ocean Bar between Natural and Channel Conditions

Go Change in Mean Ebb Tide Flow Energy Flux = ((4*Tidal Period)/(3*pi))*Maximum Instantaneous Ebb Tide Discharge^3*((Depth of Navigation Channel^2-Natural Depth of Ocean Bar^2)/(Natural Depth of Ocean Bar^2*Depth of Navigation Channel^2))

Maximum Instantaneous Ebb Tide Discharge per Unit Width

Go Maximum Instantaneous Ebb Tide Discharge = (Change in Mean Ebb Tide Flow Energy Flux*(3*pi*Natural Depth of Ocean Bar^2*Depth of Navigation Channel^2)/(4*Tidal Period*(Depth of Navigation Channel^2-Natural Depth of Ocean Bar^2)))^(1/3)

Tidal Period given Change of Ebb Tidal Energy Flux across Ocean Bar

Go Tidal Period = Change in Mean Ebb Tide Flow Energy Flux*(3*pi*Natural Depth of Ocean Bar^2*Depth of Navigation Channel^2)/(4*Maximum Instantaneous Ebb Tide Discharge^3*(Depth of Navigation Channel^2-Natural Depth of Ocean Bar^2))

Hoerls Special Function Distribution

Go Hoerls Special Function Distribution = Hoerls Best-fit Coefficient a*(Filling Index^Hoerls Best-fit Coefficient b)*e^(Hoerls Best-fit Coefficient c*Filling Index)

Density of Water given Water Surface Slope

Go Density of Water = (Coefficient Eckman*Shear Stress at the Water Surface)/(Water Surface Slope*[g]*Eckman Constant Depth)

Water Surface Slope

Go Water Surface Slope = (Coefficient Eckman*Shear Stress at the Water Surface)/(Density of Water*[g]*Eckman Constant Depth)

Shear Stress at Water Surface given Water Surface Slope

Go Shear Stress at the Water Surface = (Water Surface Slope*Density of Water*[g]*Eckman Constant Depth)/Coefficient Eckman

Coefficient given Water Surface Slope by Eckman

Go Coefficient Eckman = (Water Surface Slope*Density of Water*[g]*Eckman Constant Depth)/Shear Stress at the Water Surface

Ratio of Depth of Channel to Depth at which Seaward Slope of Ocean Bar Meets Sea Bottom

Go Depth Ratio = (Depth of Navigation Channel-Natural Depth of Ocean Bar)/(Water Depth between Sea Tip and Offshore Bottom-Natural Depth of Ocean Bar)

Water Depth where Seaward Tip of Ocean Bar meets Offshore Sea Bottom

Go Water Depth between Sea Tip and Offshore Bottom = ((Depth of Navigation Channel-Natural Depth of Ocean Bar)/Depth Ratio)+Natural Depth of Ocean Bar

Depth of Navigation Channel given Depth of Channel to depth at which Ocean Bar meets Sea Bottom

Go Depth of Navigation Channel = Depth Ratio*(Water Depth between Sea Tip and Offshore Bottom-Natural Depth of Ocean Bar)+Natural Depth of Ocean Bar

Transport Ratio

Go Transport Ratio = (Depth before Dredging/Depth after Dredging)^(5/2)

Depth before Dredging given Transport Ratio

Go Depth before Dredging = Depth after Dredging*Transport Ratio^(2/5)

Depth after Dredging given Transport Ratio

Go Depth after Dredging = Depth before Dredging/Transport Ratio^(2/5)

Transport Ratio Formula

Transport Ratio = (Depth before Dredging/Depth after Dredging)^(5/2)
t_r = (d₁/d₂)^(5/2)

What is Ocean Dynamics?

The Ocean Dynamics define and describe the motion of water within the oceans. Ocean temperature and motion fields can be separated into three distinct layers: mixed (surface) layer, upper ocean (above the thermocline), and deep ocean. Ocean dynamics has traditionally been investigated by sampling from instruments in situ.

What is Dredging?

Dredging is the act of removing silt and other material from the bottom of bodies of water. It is a routine necessity in waterways around the world because sedimentation—the natural process of sand and silt washing downstream—gradually fills channels and harbors.

How to Calculate Transport Ratio?

Transport Ratio calculator uses Transport Ratio = (Depth before Dredging/Depth after Dredging)^(5/2) to calculate the Transport Ratio, The Transport Ratio formula is defined as the amount of sediment transported by bedload (particles that move along the bottom) versus suspended load (particles carried within the water column). Transport Ratio is denoted by t_r symbol.

How to calculate Transport Ratio using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Transport Ratio, enter Depth before Dredging (d₁) & Depth after Dredging (d₂) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Transport Ratio calculation can be explained with given input values -> 3.586096 = (5/3)^(5/2).

FAQ

What is Transport Ratio?

The Transport Ratio formula is defined as the amount of sediment transported by bedload (particles that move along the bottom) versus suspended load (particles carried within the water column) and is represented as t_r = (d₁/d₂)^(5/2) or Transport Ratio = (Depth before Dredging/Depth after Dredging)^(5/2). Depth before Dredging refers to the original depth of a water body before the process of dredging is carried out and is determined through a thorough site assessment & Depth after Dredging is the new depth of a water body after the removal of accumulated sediment from the bottom or banks of bodies of water, including rivers, lakes, or streams is completed.

How to calculate Transport Ratio?

The Transport Ratio formula is defined as the amount of sediment transported by bedload (particles that move along the bottom) versus suspended load (particles carried within the water column) is calculated using Transport Ratio = (Depth before Dredging/Depth after Dredging)^(5/2). To calculate Transport Ratio, you need Depth before Dredging (d₁) & Depth after Dredging (d₂). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Depth before Dredging & Depth after Dredging and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
