Phase Angle in Local Fluid and Mass Transport Velocity Formulas

Phase Angle refers to the time lag between the maximum amplitude of a forcing function, such as waves or currents, and the response of the system, such as water level or sediment transport. And is denoted by θ. Phase Angle is usually measured using the Degree for Angle. Note that the value of Phase Angle is always negative.
