How to Evaluate Maximum Horizontal Particle Excursion at Node?

Maximum Horizontal Particle Excursion at Node evaluator uses Maximum Horizontal Particle Excursion = (Standing Wave Height of Ocean*Natural Free Oscillating Period of a Basin/2*pi)*sqrt([g]/Water Depth) to evaluate the Maximum Horizontal Particle Excursion, The Maximum Horizontal Particle Excursion at Node formula is defined as the integral dependent on wave characteristics. For shallow water waves, water parcels make elliptical motions, horizontal excursion is independent of depth, while vertical excursion decays linearly with depth and collapses to purely horizontal motion near bottom. Maximum Horizontal Particle Excursion is denoted by X symbol.

How to evaluate Maximum Horizontal Particle Excursion at Node using this online evaluator?
