Submerged Structure Analysis

Description

Estimates the reduction in wave height as a wave passes over a submerged structure.

Usage

submergedStructure(Hi = 2.5, To = 7, hi = 6, hc = 3, Cwidth = 5, Bwidth = 10)

Arguments

Hi	Initial wave height (m) at the seaward margin of a submerged structure.
To	Initial wave period (s) at the seaward margin of a submerged structure.
hi	Total water depth (m) at the seaward margin of a submerged structure.
hc	Height of the submerged structure (m) above the surrounding seabed.
Cwidth	Crest width (m) at the top of the submerged structure.
Bwidth	Base width (m) at the bottom of the submerged structure.

Value

The final wave height after passing over a submerged structure is reported as a fraction (0 to 1) or the original wave height.

Examples

pfinal <- submergedStructure(Hi = 2.5, To = 7, hi = 6, hc = 3, Cwidth = 2,
Bwidth = 5)
2.5*pfinal       # Wave height after passing over submerged structure.
2.5-(2.5*pfinal) # Wave height reduction in meters.
(1-pfinal)*100   # Wave height reduction percentage.
