What is Water Particle Velocity?

Water particle velocity refers to the velocity at which a water particle moves in a wave. It depends on the wave's amplitude, frequency, depth, and the particle's position below the water surface. This concept is crucial in understanding wave dynamics and is used in oceanography and coastal engineering.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate Water Particle Velocity:

\[ v = 2\pi \cdot 0.5 \cdot 2 \cdot e^{0.03 \cdot 1} \cdot \cos(2\pi \cdot 0.5 \cdot t) \approx 8.628 \, \text{m/s} \]

This demonstrates that with the given parameters, the water particle velocity is approximately 8.628 m/s.
