Wave Period given Wave Celerity and Wavelength Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Coastal Wave Period = (Celerity of the Wave*2*pi)/([g]*tanh(2*pi*Water Depth/Wavelength))
p = (C*2*pi)/([g]*tanh(2*pi*D/λ))
This formula uses 2 Constants, 1 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)

Variables Used

Coastal Wave Period - Coastal Wave Period is the time between successive peaks or troughs of the coastal waves.
Celerity of the Wave - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Celerity of the Wave is the addition to the normal water velocity of the channels.
Water Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Water Depth means the depth as measured from the water level to the bottom of the considered water body.
Wavelength - (Measured in Meter) - Wavelength is the distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Celerity of the Wave: 10 Meter per Second --> 10 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Water Depth: 1.5 Meter --> 1.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Wavelength: 26.8 Meter --> 26.8 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

p = (C*2*pi)/([g]*tanh(2*pi*D/λ)) --> (10*2*pi)/([g]*tanh(2*pi*1.5/26.8))

Evaluating ... ...

p = 18.963868738768

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

18.963868738768 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

18.963868738768 ≈ 18.96387 <-- Coastal Wave Period

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 travels at higher speed.
