Effect of Current on Wave Height Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Wave Height = Inlet Current Wave Height Factor*Wave Height Entering Inlet
H = RH*HA
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
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.
Wave Height Entering Inlet - (Measured in Meter) - Wave Height Entering Inlet [length] is the height of the wave measured at that the inlet.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Inlet Current Wave Height Factor: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required
Wave Height Entering Inlet: 100 Meter --> 100 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
H = RH*HA --> 0.8*100
Evaluating ... ...
H = 80
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
80 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
80 Meter <-- Wave Height

Channel Velocity in Non-propagated Wave Values in Forbidden Region
Go Velocity in Channel = (Non-propagated Wave Values of 'F'*([g]*Time Averaged Water Depth)^0.5)/cos(Angle b/w Horizontal Velocity and Horizontal Wave)
Channel Depth in Non-propagated Wave values in Forbidden Region
Go Time Averaged Water Depth = (((Velocity in Channel*cos(Angle b/w Horizontal Velocity and Horizontal Wave)/Non-propagated Wave Values of 'F'))^2)/[g]
Non-propagated Wave Values in Forbidden Region Boundary Line
Go Non-propagated Wave Values of 'F' = (Velocity in Channel*cos(Angle b/w Horizontal Velocity and Horizontal Wave))/([g]*Time Averaged Water Depth)^0.5
Angle Wave Orthogonal makes with Current in Non-propagated Wave Values on Forbidden Region
Go Angle b/w Horizontal Velocity and Horizontal Wave = acos(Non-propagated Wave Values of 'F'*([g]*Time Averaged Water Depth)^0.5/Velocity in Channel)
Channel Depth in Non-propagated Wave Values
Go Time Averaged Water Depth = [g]*((Non-propagated Wave Values*Wave Period)/(2*pi))^(1/0.5)
Non-propagated Wave Values in Forbidden Region of Boundary Line
Go Non-propagated Wave Values = ((2*pi)/Wave Period)*(Time Averaged Water Depth/[g])^0.5
Wave Period in Non-propagated Wave Values
Go Wave Period = (2*pi*(Time Averaged Water Depth/[g])^(1/2))/Non-propagated Wave Values
Effect of Current on Wave Height
Go Wave Height = Inlet Current Wave Height Factor*Wave Height Entering Inlet
Inlet Current Wave Height Factor
Go Inlet Current Wave Height Factor = Wave Height/Wave Height Entering Inlet
Wave Height Entering Inlet
Go Wave Height Entering Inlet = Wave Height/Inlet Current Wave Height Factor

Effect of Current on Wave Height Formula

Wave Height = Inlet Current Wave Height Factor*Wave Height Entering Inlet
H = RH*HA

What is Wave-current Interaction?

The region where the navigation channel intersects and/or passes through the outer ebb shoal can be a region of intense wave-current interaction. Wave-current interaction can produce difficult navigation and dredge operation conditions. Also, interaction of waves, currents, and local bathymetry/channel typically produces the most severe channel shoaling problems at inlets.

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 the wind blows in a single direction over water. If wind speed is slow, only small waves result, regardless of wind duration or fetch.

How to Calculate Effect of Current on Wave Height?

Effect of Current on Wave Height calculator uses Wave Height = Inlet Current Wave Height Factor*Wave Height Entering Inlet to calculate the Wave Height, The Effect of Current on Wave Height is defined as a graphical method presented by Herchenroder (1981) based on work by Jonsson et al. (1970). Wave Height is denoted by H symbol.
