How to Calculate Water Surface Amplitude?
Water Surface Amplitude calculator uses Water Surface Amplitude = Incident Wave Height*cos((2*pi*Horizontal Ordinate)/Incident Wave Length in Deepwater)*cos((2*pi*Time Elapsed)/Reflected Wave Period) to calculate the Water Surface Amplitude, The Water Surface Amplitude is defined as the maximum vertical distance between the highest and lowest points of a water surface wave. Water Surface Amplitude is denoted by N symbol.
How to calculate Water Surface Amplitude using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Water Surface Amplitude, enter Incident Wave Height (Hi), Horizontal Ordinate (x), Incident Wave Length in Deepwater (Lo), Time Elapsed (t) & Reflected Wave Period (T) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Water Surface Amplitude calculation can be explained with given input values -> 78.7881 = 160*cos((2*pi*38.5)/16)*cos((2*pi*12)/34).
