A Computational Model for the Hydrodynamical and Littoral Processes of the Large Scale Sediment Transport Facility at WES

Abstract

The goal of the project was to develop a computational model for the wave current and sediment transport processes in the Large-scale Sediment Transport Facility (LSTF), Coastal Hydraulics Laboratory, ERCD, Vicksburg. This involved modifications and further development of the existing quasi-3D nearshore circulation model SHORECIRC (SC) to represent the boundary conditions in the LSTF basin. It also involved extensive comparisons between computed and measured 3-D current velocities. Finally, the work has included development of a new sediment transport module which has been implemented into the model and tested against the sediment transport measurements conducted so far in the LSTF basin.
