G'Day, I'm embarrassed to say I also left out "PI" and a square in the equation for wave energy per unit width of wave. So it should have read (0.36*p*g*h*(V^2))/PI. Where p is sea water density, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is the horizontal peak to trough distance and V is the vertical peak to trough distance. All the best, (and somewhat shamefacedly and hoping I've got it right this time) PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
Does this formula have no variable for the wave speed, or is that taken into account by wave height, trough distance and other variables?
