Duration of Inflow given Inlet Channel Velocity Formula Elements

Variables
Constants
Functions
Duration of Inflow
Duration of Inflow is the period over which a stream or river carries a consistent flow of water into a system.
Symbol: t
Measurement: TimeUnit: h
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Inlet Velocity
Inlet Velocity is the velocity of the flow at state 1 or inlet.
Symbol: c1
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Maximum Cross Sectional Average Velocity
Maximum Cross Sectional Average Velocity during a tidal cycle which is the periodic rise and fall of the waters of the ocean and its inlets.
Symbol: Vm
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Tidal Period
Tidal Period is the time taken for a specific site on Earth to rotate from an exact point under moon to same point under moon, also known as “tidal day” and it’s slightly longer than a solar day.
Symbol: T
Measurement: TimeUnit: s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
