Maximum Flood Current in Coastal and Ocean Engineering Formulas

Maximum Flood Current refers to the peak flow rate of water during the flood tide phase of a tidal cycle. It is the highest speed at which water moves in a tidal system as the tide rises. And is denoted by V_max. Maximum Flood Current is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second for Volumetric Flow Rate. Note that the value of Maximum Flood Current is always positive.

FAQ

What is the Maximum Flood Current?

Maximum Flood Current refers to the peak flow rate of water during the flood tide phase of a tidal cycle. It is the highest speed at which water moves in a tidal system as the tide rises. Maximum Flood Current is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second for Volumetric Flow Rate. Note that the value of Maximum Flood Current is always positive.

Can the Maximum Flood Current be negative?

No, the Maximum Flood Current, measured in Volumetric Flow Rate cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Maximum Flood Current?

Maximum Flood Current is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second[m³/s] for Volumetric Flow Rate. Cubic Meter per Day[m³/s], Cubic Meter per Hour[m³/s], Cubic Meter per Minute[m³/s] are the few other units in which Maximum Flood Current can be measured.
