Humboldt Bay Numerical Hydrodynamics and Sedimentation Study

Source: https://erdc-library.erdc.dren.mil/jspui/ A study was done on the hydrodynamics and sedimentation of Humboldt Bay. California. This was done to determine the effects of channel deepening and realignment on the currents and sedimentation patterns in the area. The hydrodynamics and sedimentation were modeled with the TABS-MD modeling system. The hydrodynamics were verified to National Ocean Survey (NOS) harmonic data, and the sedimentation patterns were verified by comparison with historical dredging records. Predictions of changes in currents and sedimentation patterns were made for three different plans.
