Atmospheric Pressure
Atmospheric Pressure is the force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of air above that surface in the Earth’s atmosphere.
Symbol: Patm
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Absolute Pressure
Absolute Pressure is the total pressure measured with respect to absolute zero, which is a perfect vacuum. It is the sum of the gauge pressure and the atmospheric pressure.
Symbol: Pabs
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Mass Density
Mass Density is crucial for understanding the distribution of pressures exerted by overlying soil or water layers on underground structures like foundations, tunnels, or pipelines.
Symbol: ρ
Measurement: Mass ConcentrationUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Wave Height
Wave Height is the vertical distance between the crest and the trough of a wave. Higher wave heights correspond to greater wave forces, which leads to increased structural loading.
Symbol: H
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Distance above the Bottom
Distance above the Bottom directly influences the magnitude of pressure exerted by the overlying water column on submerged structures or sediments.
Symbol: DZ+d
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Wavelength
Wavelength is the distance between successive peaks or troughs of a wave. It is crucial in understanding the behavior of waves, particularly in relation to subsurface pressure.
Symbol: λ
Measurement: WavelengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Phase Angle
Phase Angle is the angular displacement between the oscillations of water level and pore water pressure within the seabed or coastal structures.
Symbol: θ
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Water Depth
Water Depth is vertical distance from the surface of a body of water to its bottom, it is a critical parameter for understanding the characteristics and behaviors of the marine environment.
Symbol: d
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Seabed Elevation
Seabed Elevation impact on the distribution of subsurface pressures in coastal areas. Variations in seabed elevation can affect the flow of groundwater.
Symbol: Z
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.

Archimedes' constant
Archimedes' constant is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
Symbol: π
Value: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288
