Sub Surface Pressure
Sub Surface Pressure is the pressure exerted by the overlying water column and any additional pressures such as atmospheric pressure at a specific depth below the ocean.
Symbol: p
Measurement: PressureUnit: kPa
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Mass Density
Mass Density is crucial for understanding the distribution of pressures exerted by overlying soil or water layers on underground structures like foundations, tunnels, or pipelines.
Symbol: ρ
Measurement: Mass ConcentrationUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Wave Height
Wave Height is the vertical distance between the crest and the trough of a wave. Higher wave heights correspond to greater wave forces, which leads to increased structural loading.
Symbol: H
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Upper Bottom Distance
Upper Bottom Distance is the vertical distance between the seabed or ocean floor and the water surface. It holds significant importance, especially in relation to subsurface pressure.
Symbol: Dz'+d'
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Wavelength
Wavelength is the distance between successive peaks or troughs of a wave. It is crucial in understanding the behavior of waves, particularly in relation to subsurface pressure.
Symbol: λ
Measurement: WavelengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Phase Angle
Phase Angle is the angular displacement between the oscillations of water level and pore water pressure within the seabed or coastal structures.
Symbol: θ
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Water Depth
Water Depth is vertical distance from the surface of a body of water to its bottom, it is a critical parameter for understanding the characteristics and behaviors of the marine environment.
Symbol: d
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Seabed Elevation
Seabed Elevation impact on the distribution of subsurface pressures in coastal areas. Variations in seabed elevation can affect the flow of groundwater.
Symbol: Z
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Gravitational acceleration on Earth
Gravitational acceleration on Earth means that the velocity of an object in free fall will increase by 9.8 m/s2 every second.

Archimedes' constant
Archimedes' constant is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
Symbol: π
Value: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288
