Velocity at Surface given Volume Flow Rate Per Unit of Ocean Width Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Velocity at the Surface = (Volume Flow Rates per unit of Ocean Width*pi*sqrt(2))/Depth of Frictional Influence
V_s = (q_x*pi*sqrt(2))/D_F
This formula uses 1 Constants, 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Velocity at the Surface - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity at the Surface is the speed of an object or fluid at the immediate boundary with another medium.
Volume Flow Rates per unit of Ocean Width - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Volume Flow Rates per Unit of Ocean Width quantify the volume of water moving horizontally across a unit width of the ocean.
Depth of Frictional Influence - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of Frictional Influence is the depth over which the turbulent eddy viscosity is important.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volume Flow Rates per unit of Ocean Width: 13.5 Cubic Meter per Second --> 13.5 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Depth of Frictional Influence: 120 Meter --> 120 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_s = (q_x*pi*sqrt(2))/D_F --> (13.5*pi*sqrt(2))/120

Evaluating ... ...

V_s = 0.499824330542816

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.499824330542816 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.499824330542816 ≈ 0.499824 Meter per Second <-- Velocity at the Surface

What is Ocean Dynamics?

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.
