Shoaling Coefficient

LaTeX Go Shoaling Coefficient = (tanh(Wave Number for Water Wave*Coastal Mean Depth)*(1+(2*Wave Number for Water Wave*Coastal Mean Depth/sinh(2*Wave Number for Water Wave*Coastal Mean Depth))))^-0.5

Deepwater Wave Height for Shoaling Coefficient and Refraction Coefficient

LaTeX Go Wave Height in Deepwater = Wave Height for Surface Gravity Waves/(Shoaling Coefficient*Refraction Coefficient)

Refraction Coefficient

LaTeX Go Refraction Coefficient = sqrt(Distance Between Two Rays at Deepwater/Distance Between Two Rays)

Distance between Two Rays at General Point

LaTeX Go Distance Between Two Rays = Distance Between Two Rays at Deepwater/Refraction Coefficient^2

What is Wave Energy?

Wave energy (or wave power) is the transport and capture of energy by ocean surface waves. The energy captured is then used for all different kinds of useful work, including electricity generation, water desalination, and pumping of water.

What does shoaling mean?

Shoaling is the deformation of incident waves on the lower shoreface that starts when the water depth becomes less than about half of the wavelength, causing the waves to become steeper: increase in amplitude and decrease in wavelength.
