Calculation method
Horizontal orbital velocity amplitude (m/s)
pi H/T × cosh(k(z+h))/sinh(kh).
Vertical orbital velocity amplitude (m/s)
pi H/T × sinh(k(z+h))/sinh(kh); finite-depth linear-wave model.

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Height, period, depth, observation elevation. Returns Linear-wave orbital velocity estimate. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification. Regular wave height (m): minimum 0, maximum 1000000000000.0. Period (seconds): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0. Water depth (m): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0. Observation elevation relative to still water (m): minimum None, maximum 1000000000000.0.
