A Numerical Model Analysis of Mississippi River Passes Navigation Channel Improvements. Report 3. Bank Breaching Without Supplement 2
Abstract
The ramifications of not improving the banks of Southwest Pass of the Mississippi River are explored in terms of hydrodynamics and sedimentation. Both a general deterioration and a sharp breach of the banks at two point are investigated. Results from two-dimensional numerical hydrodynamic and sediment transport models are presented. The US Army Corps of Engineers TABS-2 modeling system is used. The constructed models cover the entire Mississippi River Delta downstream of Venice, Louisiana.
