Wave Energy Calculator

Calculate ocean wave energy density E = ρg H²/8 (J/m²) and wave power P = E·c_g (W/m). Group velocity c_g = c/2 (deep water). Significant wave height H_s from wave spectrum statistics.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)

How It Works

Calculate ocean wave energy density E = ρg H²/8 (J/m²) and wave power P = E·c_g (W/m). Group velocity c_g = c/2 (deep water). Significant wave height H_s from wave spectrum statistics

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Wave spectrum statistics — The wave spectrum statistics recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the wave energy result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the wave spectrum statistics for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate ocean wave energy density E = ρg H²/8 (J/m²) and wave power P = E·c_g (W/m). Group velocity c_g = c/2 (deep water). Significant wave height H_s from wave spectrum statistics. Use the wave energy result to inform your clinical assessment.
