tex2html_wrap1623

tex2html_wrap_inline1613 = specific energy = energy density = energy per unit width and unit length = energy per unit surface area = tex2html_wrap_inline1615

eqnarray1002

Note: Expressions for tex2html_wrap_inline1617 are the same also for transitional or shallow water

tex2html_wrap1625

P: Plane through which energy flux is measured.

tex2html_wrap_inline1619 = wave power = tex2html_wrap_inline1621

(per unit crest width)

eqnarray1020
