STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wave Height = sqrt(Potential Energy/((1/16)*Mass Density*[g]*Wavelength))
H = sqrt(PE/((1/16)*ρ*[g]*λ))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

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)

Variables Used

Wave Height - (Measured in Meter) - Wave Height is the vertical distance between the crest and the trough of a wave. Higher wave heights correspond to greater wave forces, which leads to increased structural loading.
Potential Energy - (Measured in Joule) - Potential Energy is the gravitational potential energy of water, which is influenced by the water's depth and the pressure exerted by the water column.
