Symbol: P
Measurement: PowerUnit: W
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Wave Energy Per Unit Surface Area
Wave Energy Per Unit Surface Area referred to as wave energy density, measures the amount of energy carried by ocean waves over a specific area.
Symbol: E
Measurement: Heat DensityUnit: J/m²
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Wave Group Speed in Coastal Eng.
Wave Group Speed in Coastal Eng. is the velocity at which the envelope of a wave group or wave packet travels. It is distinct from the phase speed.
Symbol: CG
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
