Functions
Absolute Pressure
Absolute Pressure is the total pressure measured with respect to absolute zero, which is a perfect vacuum. It is the sum of the gauge pressure and the atmospheric pressure.
Symbol: Pabs
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
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.
Distance above the Bottom
Distance above the Bottom directly influences the magnitude of pressure exerted by the overlying water column on submerged structures or sediments.
