Wave Phase Velocity in Coastal and Ocean Engineering Formulas

Wave Phase Velocity is the speed at which a wave crest or trough moves through the water. It is defined as the distance a wave crest travels per unit of time. And is denoted by C_v. Wave Phase Velocity is usually measured using the Meter per Second for Speed. Note that the value of Wave Phase Velocity is always positive.
