Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Wave energy, group speed. Returns Ideal wave energy flux. 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. Wave energy density (J/m²): minimum 0, maximum 1000000000000.0. Group speed (m/s): minimum 0, maximum 1000000000000.0.
