where kN is the Nikuradse roughness coefficient (assumed to be 0.015 ft), kA is the apparent
roughness (described below), κ is the von Karman constant (=0.4), and h is the water depth.

where uwbm is the maximum value (amplitude) of the oscillatory wave particle velocity at the top
of the wave boundary layer, ωa is the angular frequency (2π/Ts), and β is an experimentally
determined constant (=0.0747). Now recompute fw using:

c. Keeping fc fixed, iterate to find σ, m, J, and fw using Equations 6, 7, 11, and 12.
d. Compute δw (wave boundary layer thickness), and kA (apparent roughness):

where r is an experimentally determined constant (=0.45).
e. Recompute fc from a.; this time the second term on the right-hand side will not be zero.
f. Repeat steps b. through e. until fc converges.
g. Calculate τbm, maximum bed shear stress, using Equation 4.
