Figure 5.45 Example of phase-averaged output showing the maximum wave height
at a harbour entrance
Significant wave height
The significant wave height H
m0
is defined by
(5.10)
where is the standard deviation of the surface elevation. Usually you will
include this output item in your model specifications.
Maximum wave height
The maximum wave height H
max
is defined as the maximum zero-crossing
wave height within a specified time period.
Maximum surface elevation
The maximum surface elevation
max
is defined as the maximum value of the
surface elevation within a specified time period.
Minimum surface elevation
The minimum surface elevation
min
is defined as the minimum value of the
surface elevation within a specified time period.
Mean surface elevation
The mean surface elevation
mean
is defined as the mean value of the surface
elevation taken over a specified time period. Usually you will include this out-
put item in your model specifications when wave breaking and moving shore-
