Default Value | Unit | Min. | Max. | Brief Description | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Location | Offshore | Offshore | Nearshore | Indicate whether the design storm conditions are provided at an offshore or nearshore (at the breakwater toe). Using lineair wave theory the wave height is transformed to nearshore conditions in case offshore storm conditions are provided. | |
Hs | 3 | m | 0.01 | 20 | Significant wave height during design storm conditions. |
Tp | 12 | s | 0.01 | 20 | Wave peak period during design storm conditions. |
Water level | 1 | m, MSL | -10 | 10 | Provide the water level at the tip of the breakwater w.r.t. to MSL that is present during storm conditions. |
Storm duration | 6 | hr | 0.1 | 48 | Total duration of the storm. This is used to calculate the total number of waves that is expected to reach the breakwater. |
Breaker parameter | 0.73 | - | 0.0001 | 1 | Defines the wave height at which waves start to break. The maximum wave height is defined by the breaker parameter times the local waterdepth. |
Offshore depth | 100 | m | 0 | 9999 | In case the design storm conditions are provided at an offshore location, provide the offshore depth of that location. Using lineair wave theory, the wave height is transformed to nearshore conditions. |
