Physical Modeling Guidelines for Coastal Harbors

Abstract

To provide information and guidelines relative to physical coastal hydraulic modeling that can be used by engineers to enhance and optimize all aspects of the design of their coastal projects. This technical note discusses small-boat harbor physical models and their uses, in general, as well as design information required to conduct a physical model investigation. Small-boat harbor design and construction personnel can use this information to gain insight into how a physical model investigation may be used to enhance and optimize project designs.
