Template:Wavelength and Celerity

Primitive Weighting

This tool creates one or two functions representing the celerity and/or the wavelength at each node, based on the depth at each node. The celerity (C) is defined as the relative velocity of a wave with respect to the fluid in which it is travelling.

The Output base name edit field allows the modeler to customize the name of the dataset being created.

$Celerity=(Gravity*Depth)^{0.5}$.

$Wavelength=Period*Celerity$.

Input parameters

• Input dataset – Select a bathymetry dataset in the project. If the dataset is in elevation, it will be converted to depth.
• Input dataset is depth – Check if the input bathymetry dataset is in depth and not elevation.
• Gravity (m/s² or ft/s²) – Enter a gravity value for the celerity equation.
• Period (seconds) – Enter a period value for the wavelength equation.
• Minimum depth (m or ft) – Set a minimum depth to buffer the function results.

Output parameters

• Wavelength/Celerity dataset basename – Allows customizing the name of the dataset being created.
