ENERGY AND POWER DENSITIES
A 2-m wave has a 6-s period and occurs at the surface of water 100 m deep.
Find the wavelength, the wave velocity, the horizontal and vertical semiaxes
for water motion at the surface, and the energy and power densities of the
3
wave. Water density = 1025 kg/m .
Calculation Procedure:
1. Find the wavelength, velocity, and height
A two-dimensional progressive wave that has a free surface and is acted upon
by gravity (Fig. 3) is characterized by the following parameters:
