Compute the orbital speed at a given depth from the wave elevation 1D spectra

Description

Compute the orbital speed at a given depth from the wave elevation 1D spectra

Usage

compute_orbital_speeds(spec, freq, z = 0, depth = Inf, output_speeds = FALSE)

Arguments

spec	1D spectral data: TxM matrix
freq	the M frequencies
z	distance above the floor at which we want the orbital speed (single numeric)
depth	depth time series (vector length T. Recycled if a single value is given)
output_speeds	TRUE if the spectral speed are needed. Otherwise, returns the RMS (default)

Value

depending on spec, a list with the spectral velocities for each component (if output_speeds==FALSE) or a data.frame with a time series of horizontal and vertical components of (spectral) orbital speed.

Examples

# Compute orbital speed for varying Hs
S <- t(sapply(1:10, \(h) jonswap(h)$spec))
orb_speeds <- compute_orbital_speeds(S, rscd_freq, depth = 100, z = 10)
plot(1:10, orb_speeds[, 1],
  type = "l",
  ylim = range(orb_speeds),
  xlab = "Hs (m)",
  ylab = "Orbital speed RMS (m/s)"
)
lines(1:10, orb_speeds[, 2], type = "l", col = "red")
