Zolar V Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) When calculating Wave Power: [latex] P = \frac{\rho g^2}{64\pi} H_{m0}^2 T \approx \left(0.5 \frac{\text{kW}}{\text{m}^3 \cdot \text{s}} \right) H_{m0}^2\; T, [/latex] Where on the λ is the calculation taking place? is the calculation the result of a point on λ relative to the resting point? Does the calculation take into consideration the energy at various points along λ? Or is it just calculating the power of the resting point to the max magnitude of the wave? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_power Edited December 28, 2010 by Zolar V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha2cen Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) The wave length related parameter is contained in the term H2T, long wave length is more powerful than short wave length. When long wave is approaching to the shoreline the velocity is reduced and the wave height is increased. The limited water depth is wave length /2.
