Water Depth Breaking given Breaker Depth Index Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Water Depth at Breaking = (Wave Height at Incipient Breaking/Breaker Depth Index)
db = (Hb/γb)
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Water Depth at Breaking - (Measured in Meter) - Water Depth at Breaking measured. Breaking wave or breaker is a wave whose amplitude reaches a critical level at which some process can suddenly start to occur.
Wave Height at Incipient Breaking - (Measured in Meter) - Wave Height at Incipient Breaking is defined as the point that wave height is maximum.
Breaker Depth Index - Breaker Depth Index is commonly used to define the wave height at breaking.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Wave Height at Incipient Breaking: 18 Meter --> 18 Meter No Conversion Required
Breaker Depth Index: 0.32 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
db = (Hbb) --> (18/0.32)
Evaluating ... ...
db = 56.25
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
56.25 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
56.25 Meter <-- Water Depth at Breaking
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
