Lake Borgne Surge Barrier Study

Abstract

A two-dimensional hydrodynamic model of the Lake Borgne Surge Barrier was developed specifically for simulating currents within the surge protection structure on the Gulf Inter-Coastal Waterway (GIWW) for the purposes of determining the impacts of the GIWW structure on navigation. The model was validated against observed data and applied using boundary conditions capable of producing currents in the structure that would be hazardous to navigation.
