Wave Height Entering Inlet Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wave Height Entering Inlet = Wave Height/Inlet Current Wave Height Factor
H_A = H/R_h
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Wave Height Entering Inlet - (Measured in Meter) - Wave Height Entering Inlet [length] is the height of the wave measured at that the inlet.
Wave Height - (Measured in Meter) - Wave Height of a surface wave is the difference between the elevations of a crest and a neighboring trough.
Inlet Current Wave Height Factor - Inlet Current Wave Height Factor is the ratio of wave height and wave height entering inlet.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wave Height: 80 Meter --> 80 Meter No Conversion Required
Inlet Current Wave Height Factor: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H_A = H/R_h --> 80/0.8

Evaluating ... ...

H_A = 100

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

100 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

100 Meter <-- Wave Height Entering Inlet

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What are the factors affecting Wave Height?

Wave Height is affected by wind speed, wind duration (or how long the wind blows), and fetch, which is the distance over water that the wind blows in a single direction. If wind speed is slow, only small waves result, regardless of wind duration or fetch.

How to Calculate Wave Height Entering Inlet?

Wave Height Entering Inlet calculator uses Wave Height Entering Inlet = Wave Height/Inlet Current Wave Height Factor to calculate the Wave Height Entering Inlet, The Wave Height Entering Inlet is defined as the parameter influencing the effect of current on wave height based on a graphical method presented by Herchenroder (1981) based on work by Jonsson et al. (1970). Wave Height Entering Inlet is denoted by H_A symbol.

How to calculate Wave Height Entering Inlet using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Wave Height Entering Inlet, enter Wave Height (H) & Inlet Current Wave Height Factor (R_h) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Wave Height Entering Inlet calculation can be explained with given input values -> 100 = 80/0.8.
