How to Evaluate Kinetic Energy due to Particle Motion?

Kinetic Energy due to Particle Motion evaluator uses Kinetic Energy of Wave per Unit Width = (1/16)*Density of Fluid*[g]*(Wave Height^2)*Wavelength to evaluate the Kinetic Energy of Wave per Unit Width, The Kinetic Energy due to Particle Motion formula is defined as the energy possessed by particles due to motion. Particles of a solid cannot move around because they are closely packed, hence they have the least kinetic energy. Kinetic Energy of Wave per Unit Width is denoted by KE symbol.
