Wave Speed in Deepwater for Total Littoral Transport in Entire Breaker Zone in CERC Formula Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Deepwater Wave Celerity = (Total Littoral Transport/(0.014*Deepwater Wave Height^2*Refraction Coefficient^2*sin(Angle of Wave Incidence)*cos(Angle of Wave Incidence)))
C_o = (S/(0.014*H_d^2*K_r^2*sin(φ_br)*cos(φ_br)))
This formula uses 2 Functions, 5 Variables

Functions Used

sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)
cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)

Variables Used

Deepwater Wave Celerity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Deepwater Wave Celerity is the speed at which an individual wave advances or propagates occurring or existing in water of great depth.
Total Littoral Transport - Total Littoral Transport in the entire Breaker Zone is the transport of non-cohesive sediments in the littoral zone along shoreline mainly due to breaking waves.
Deepwater Wave Height - (Measured in Meter) - Deepwater Wave Height is the vertical distance between the crest (highest point) and the trough (lowest point) of a wave in deep water.
Refraction Coefficient - Refraction Coefficient when waves approach a plane base travelling from deep water into shallow water.
Angle of Wave Incidence - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Wave Incidence is the angle between the wave propagation direction and the normal to the coastline or the angle between the wavefront and the coastline.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Littoral Transport: 0.00386 --> No Conversion Required
Deepwater Wave Height: 3.5 Meter --> 3.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Refraction Coefficient: 0.1 --> No Conversion Required
Angle of Wave Incidence: 45 Degree --> 0.785398163397301 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_o = (S/(0.014*H_d^2*K_r^2*sin(φ_br)*cos(φ_br))) --> (0.00386/(0.014*3.5^2*0.1^2*sin(0.785398163397301)*cos(0.785398163397301)))

Evaluating ... ...

C_o = 4.50145772594752

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.50145772594752 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.50145772594752 ≈ 4.501458 Meter per Second <-- Deepwater Wave Celerity
