Green's Law
Green's Law describes how the height of a wave changes as it moves from a narrow to a wider channel. Specifically, it states that the wave height is proportional to the three-halves power of the ratio of the channel's width. This means that if a channel widens, the wave's height increases significantly, providing insight into how waves behave in natural and artificial waterways. It's useful for predicting wave conditions in rivers, estuaries, and coastal areas, aiding in navigation and coastal engineering.
