Water Surface above Bottom Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Water Surface Ordinate = Water Depth from Bed+Height of the Wave*(sech(sqrt((3/4)*(Height of the Wave/Water Depth from Bed^3))*(Spatial (Progressive Wave)-(Celerity of the Wave*Temporal (Progressive Wave)))))^2
y_s' = D_w+H_w*(sech(sqrt((3/4)*(H_w/D_w^3))*(x-(C*t))))^2
This formula uses 2 Functions, 6 Variables

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)
sech - The hyperbolic secant function is a hyperbolic function that is the reciprocal of the hyperbolic cosine function., sech(Number)

Variables Used

Water Surface Ordinate - Water Surface Ordinate is defined as the vertical distance between two points on the water plane.
Water Depth from Bed - (Measured in Meter) - Water Depth from Bed means the depth as measured from the water level to the bottom of the considered water body.
Height of the Wave - (Measured in Meter) - Height of the Wave is the difference between the elevations of a crest and a neighboring trough.
Spatial (Progressive Wave) - Spatial (Progressive Wave) is a wave that continuously travels in a medium in the same direction minus the changes.
Celerity of the Wave - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Celerity of the Wave refers to the speed at which a wave propagates through a medium.
Temporal (Progressive Wave) - Temporal (Progressive Wave) is a wave which generally travels continuously in a medium of the same direction without the change in its amplitude.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Water Depth from Bed: 45 Meter --> 45 Meter No Conversion Required
Height of the Wave: 14 Meter --> 14 Meter No Conversion Required
Spatial (Progressive Wave): 50 --> No Conversion Required
Celerity of the Wave: 24.05 Meter per Second --> 24.05 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Temporal (Progressive Wave): 25 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

y_s' = D_w+H_w*(sech(sqrt((3/4)*(H_w/D_w^3))*(x-(C*t))))^2 --> 45+14*(sech(sqrt((3/4)*(14/45^3))*(50-(24.05*25))))^2

Evaluating ... ...

y_s' = 45.0004059473241

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

45.0004059473241 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

45.0004059473241 ≈ 45.00041 <-- Water Surface Ordinate

What are the Characteristics of Progressive Waves?

A progressive wave is formed due to continuous vibration of the particles of the medium.
The wave travels with a certain velocity.
There is a flow of energy in the direction of the wave.
No particles in the medium are at rest.
The amplitude of all the particles is the same.
