Water Depth given Wave Celerity and Wavelength Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Water Depth = (Wavelength*atanh((2*pi*Wave Celerity)/([g]*Wave Period)))/(2*pi)
d = (λ*atanh((2*pi*C)/([g]*T)))/(2*pi)
This formula uses 2 Constants, 2 Functions, 4 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665
pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Functions Used

tanh - The hyperbolic tangent function (tanh) is a function that is defined as the ratio of the hyperbolic sine function (sinh) to the hyperbolic cosine function (cosh)., tanh(Number)
atanh - The inverse hyperbolic tangent function returns the value whose hyperbolic tangent is a number., atanh(Number)

Variables Used

Water Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Water Depth of the considered catchment is measured from the water level to the bottom of the considered water body.
Wavelength - (Measured in Meter) - Wavelength can be defined as the distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave.
Wave Celerity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Wave Celerity is the speed at which an individual wave advances or propagates.
Wave Period - (Measured in Second) - Wave Period is the time between successive peaks or troughs.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wavelength: 10.11 Meter --> 10.11 Meter No Conversion Required
Wave Celerity: 3.5 Meter per Second --> 3.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

What are Water Waves & Wave Energy?

A wave, a ridge or swell on the surface of a body of water, normally having a forward motion distinct from the oscillatory motion of the particles that successively compose it. Water waves are considered oscillatory or nearly oscillatory if the motion described by the water particles is circular orbits that are closed or nearly closed for each wave period.
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.

How does Depth affect Wavelength?

The change from deep to shallow water waves occurs when the depth of the water, d, becomes less than one-half of the wavelength of the wave. The speed of deep-water waves depends on the wavelength of the waves. We say that deep-water waves show dispersion. A wave with a longer wavelength travel at a higher speed.
