Wave Speed given First Type of Mean Fluid Speed Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wave Speed = Fluid Stream Velocity-Mean Horizontal Fluid Velocity
v = C_f-U_h
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Wave Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Wave Speed is the rate at which a wave travels through a medium, measured in distance per unit time.
Fluid Stream Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Fluid Stream Velocity refers to the speed at which a fluid (liquid or gas) flows in a particular direction.
Mean Horizontal Fluid Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Mean Horizontal Fluid Velocity refers to the average speed and direction of water flow in a particular area over a specified period.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Fluid Stream Velocity: 64 Meter per Second --> 64 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Mean Horizontal Fluid Velocity: 14 Meter per Second --> 14 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

v = C_f-U_h --> 64-14

Evaluating ... ...

v = 50

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

50 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

50 Meter per Second <-- Wave Speed

What are the Main Theories for Steady Waves?

There are two main theories for steady waves – Stokes theory, most suitable for waves which are not very long relative to the water depth; and Cnoidal theory, suitable for the other limit where the waves are much longer than the depth. In addition there is one important numerical method – the Fourier approximation method which solves the problem accurately, and is now widely used in ocean and coastal engineering.
