Lock and Dam No. 13, Arkansas River Navigation Project: Hydraulic Model Investigation.
Abstract
Lock and Dam No. 13 is proposed for construction in a comparatively straight reach of the Arkansas River at mile 346.5 about 7 miles downstream of Van Buren, Ark. The model investigation was concerned with the study of navigation conditions in the approaches to the lock to determine the effects of the proposed regulating structures on channel development in the reaches upstream and downstream of the structure and with the development of measures required to overcome or minimize the effects of any adverse conditions. An undistorted, semifixed-bed, 1:120-scale model reproduced about 7.4 miles of the Arkansas River and additional bank area. (Author)
