Wave Conditions for Proposed Harbor Development in Los Angeles Outer Harbor, Los Angeles, California. Coastal Model Investigation

Abstract

At 1:100-scale (undistorted) hydraulic model of Los Angeles Outer Harbor, California, was used to investigate short-period storm wave conditions for proposed harbor development located near the Angel's Gate entrance. The model reproduced the proposed harbor expansion, Angel's Gate entrance, portions of the existing breakwaters, and sufficient bathymetry in San Pedro Bay to permit generation of the required test waves. An 80-ft long electrohydraulic, unidirectional spectral wave generator and an automated data acquisition and control system were utilized in model operation.
