HP Prime and TI-84 Plus CE: Shallow Wave Analysis

HP Prime and TI-84 Plus CE:  Shallow Wave Analysis

Introduction



The program H2OWAVES calculates wave speed, impedance, and wave flux for shallow ocean waves.  The following are assumed:

1. The criteria of λ < D/20 is assumed where λ is the length of the wave.
2. The water assumed to be 0°C, where the density (ρ) is 1,000 kg/m. 
3. SI units are used.  For gravity, g = 9.80665 m/s^2 is used.

Formulas Used

Wave Speed (m/s):  v = √(g * D)
Wave Impedance (Mks):  Z = ρ * v
Wave Energy Flux (W/m):  I = (ρ * g * H)^2/(2 * Z)
Maximum Possible Length (m):  λ = 20 * D

HP Prime Program H2OWAVES
