Wave Energy Flux Estimator implementation

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Effect

Computation or source lookup only

Input and validation requirements

The plain-arithmetic implementation can overflow to Infinity for extreme finite inputs, and the specification provides no alternate formula or depth input for the shallow/intermediate-water branch even though the advertised formula is explicitly limited to deep water.

Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

Inspectable interface fixture

The sample below is evidence for interface and validation tests, not a production implementation.
