| Description: | Miscellaneous Papers Abstract: The ramifications of not improving the banks of Southwest Pass of the Mississippi River are explored in terms of hydrodynamics and sedimentation. Both a general deterioration and a sharp breach of the banks at two points are investigated. Results from two-dimensional numerical hydrodynamic and sediment transport models are presented. The US Army Corps of Engineers TABS-2 modeling system is used. The constructed models cover the entire Mississippi River Delta downstream of Venice, Louisiana. |
