4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the formula for wave power?
Think about what E and CG represent together.
What does the shoaling coefficient (Ks) indicate?
Consider how waves behave when moving into shallower water.
What is the relationship between wave height at deep and shallow water called?
Remember the specific name used for this phenomenon.
Wave conservation implies power remains the same when waves transition between depths.
Consider the behavior of waves as they propagate.
A wave in deep water has a height of 3 meters. Calculate the height of this wave when it is experienced in shallow water if the wave speed in deep water is 5 m/s and in shallow water is 4 m/s.
Utilize the shoaling coefficient relation you learned.
Consider two waves: one steep and one with a long period. Compare their mass transport speed qualitatively and quantitatively. Provide equations and reasoning.
Look at how steepness affects the transport speed directly.
