Oscillatory Flow due to Wind Waves Formula Elements

Variables
Oscillatory Flow due to Wind Waves
Oscillatory Flow due to Wind Waves is the oscillations of the water surface caused by local wind fields and these wind-generated oscillations, which can range from tiny ripples to giants.
Symbol: uo
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Total Current in the Surf Zone
Total Current in the Surf Zone refers to the combined effect of several types of currents that occur in the surf zone, and it is the region of breaking waves, which is shallow, between 5 to 10 m deep.
Symbol: u
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Tidal Current
Tidal Current is the water current produced by tidal forces that occur in conjunction with the rise and fall of the tide.
Symbol: ut
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Steady Current driven by Breaking Waves
Steady Current driven by Breaking Waves is the persistent water movement generated by the energy of breaking waves is a significant factor in coastal dynamics, influencing sediment transport.
Symbol: uw
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Oscillatory Flow due to Infragravity Waves
Oscillatory Flow due to Infragravity Waves is composed of motions at many scale, forced by several processes and is interconnected by various components.
Symbol: ui
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Wind Driven Current
Wind Driven Current is a flow in a body of water that is generated by wind friction on its surface.
Symbol: ua
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
