Moderate wave height, all parameters given — straightforward Hudson formula
Hudson Armor Sizing
Determines the required median armor stone weight and nominal diameter for breakwater and revetment stability using Hudson's (1959) formula from the USACE Coastal Engineering Manual and CIRIA C683 Rock Manual. Accounts for design wave height, rock and water densities, structure slope, and the stability coefficient KD which depends on armor type and placement method.
