Mission Bay Harbor, San Diego County, California, Design for Wave and Surge Protection, Coastal Model Investigation.
Abstract
Tests were conducted in an existing 1:100-scale model of Mission Bay Harbor to determine the location and orientation of proposed structures for improving hazardous entrance conditions and reducing surge inside the harbor while minimizing impacts on surfing. The model reproduced Mission Bay Harbor, approximately 3 miles of adjacent Pacific Ocean shoreline, and sufficient offshore bathymetry to permit generation of the required test waves. Two wave generators (60 and 70 ft long), special photographic techniques, and an automated data acquisition and control system were utilized during model operation.
