A Numerical Model Analysis of Mississippi River Passes Navigation Channel Improvements. Report 1. 55-Foot Channel Tests

Abstract

The proposed deepening of the Southwest Pass of the Mississippi River to 55 feet is analyzed for its impacts on flow distributions and sedimentation changes. Results from two-dimensional numerical hydrodynamic and sediment transport models for a variety of plans and flow conditions 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.
