Wave Period for Horizontal Fluid Particle
Wave Period for Horizontal Fluid Particle is the time it takes for the particle to complete one full oscillation cycle in response to the wave passing through it.
Symbol: Ph
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Wavelength
Wavelength is the distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave.
Symbol: λ
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Water Depth
Water Depth means the depth as measured from the water level to the bottom of the considered water body.
Symbol: D
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Wave Height
Wave Height of a surface wave is the difference between the elevations of a crest and a neighboring trough.
Symbol: H
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Distance above the Bottom
Distance above the Bottom refers to the vertical measurement from the lowest point of a given surface (such as the bottom of waterbody) to a specified point above it.

sin
Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse.
Syntax: sin(Angle)
sqrt
A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number.
Syntax: sqrt(Number)
cosh
The hyperbolic cosine function is a mathematical function that is defined as the ratio of the sum of the exponential functions of x and negative x to 2.
