Hydrodynamic and Salinity Analysis of Conceptual Surge Barrier Designs in the Lake Pontchartrain Region

Abstract

A three-dimensional hydrodynamic/salinity model of the Lake Pontchartrain system was developed for the purpose of analyzing the impacts of conceptual surge barrier designs on current velocities and salinity levels in the Lake Pontchartrain system. The model was validated against observed data and applied using boundary conditions developed from 2006 data.
