1. A wave train is observed approaching a coast that has straight parallel nearshore bottom contours that are oriented in a north-south direction. Where the water depth is 5 m the wave crests are observed to form an angle of 9° with the shoreline (waves from the southwest) and the wave period is measured to be 7.3 s. What is the incident wave direction in deep water? If the measured wave height at the 5 m depth is 2.2 m,...

Problem 16.85 A water wave is a shallow-water wave if the water depth d is less than λ/10. It is shown in hydrodynamics that the speed of a shallow-water wave is /gd, so waves slow down as they move into shallower water. Ocean waves, with wavelengths of typically 110 m, are shallow-water waves when the water depth is less than 11 m Consider a beach where the depth increases linearly with distance from the shore until reaching a depth of...

Review | Constants Part A A water wave is a shallow-water wave if the water depth d is less than ~ 1/10. It is shown in hydrodynamics that the speed of a shallow-water wave is v= Vgd, so waves slow down as they move into shallower water. Ocean waves, with wavelengths of typically 110 m , are shallow-water waves when the water depth is less than 11 m. Consider a beach where the depth increases linearly with distance from the...

An alongshore current and breaker wave height are measured as 3.4 ft/s and 6ft, respectively. For a beach slope of 1:25 with straight and parallel depth contours, determine the angle ofwave approach at the breaker zone.

Determine the runup on the revetment given that the deep water wave height is 1 m and the wave period is 4 seconds. The revetment slope is 45 degrees and the water depth is 2 m.

A large aquarium of height 6 m is filled with fresh water to a depth of D = 2.50 m. One wall of the aquarium consists of thick plastic with horizontal length w = 7.80 m. By how much does the total force on that wall increase if the aquarium is next filled to a depth of D = 5.00 m? (Note: use g = 9.81 m/s2 and ρ = 998 kg/m3.)

"tidal wave" because its effect is rapid change A tsunami (commonly called in tide) is a fast-moving ocean wave caused by an underwater earthquake. The water first goes down from its normal level, then rises an equal distance above its normal level, and finally return to its normal level. Suppose the normal depth of the water is 9 metres. Consider the graph of this sinusoidal wave given below a 10 22.5 30 37.5 15 7.5 Minutes 20 Metres (a) This...

A wave train moving from South to North has wave height 0.9 m and period 8 s. The still water depth is constant at 13 m. If a solid vertical reflective wall is now placed irn the water running East to West, plot the water particle trajectories (i.e. displacement with time) at a location 15 m to the South of the wall and 2 m below the mean free surface. You may assume perfect reflection of the wave train from...
