Boussinesq Modeling for Inlets, Harbors, and Structures (Bouss-2D)
Abstract
BMT helps USACE to evaluate challenging wave related issues in navigation and flooding projects to reduce the O and M costs by developing more accurate and cost-effective engineering solutions. BMT is used in optimization of integrated navigation system to improve performance, realignment, safety, reliability and operations of channels; improvement of navigation operations by advanced dredging practices and modifications for ports, harbors and marinas with innovative infrastructures design; probabilistic engineering design and rehabilitation estimates for jetties, breakwaters for coastal protection; evaluation of the impacts of engineering activities affecting safety of coastal navigation (e.g., channel deepening, and jetty modifications) in port access and utilization; and quantifying ship transit effects on erosion of coastal shorelines and river banks.
