| Description: | Technical Report Abstract: The Columbia Hybrid Modeling System was applied to the mouth of the Columbia River estuary to evaluate alternatives for reducing navigation channel maintenance dredging. The hybrid modeling method uses a physical hydraulic model, analytical techniques, and various numerical models in an integrated solution method that takes advantage of the strengths of each technique while avoiding its weaknesses. The methods accounted for the effect of tides, freshwater runoff, wind waves, and littoral currents on sediment transport, deposition, and erosion. The models were verified to satisfactorily reproduce observed prototype behavior. NOTE: This file is large. Allow your browser several minutes to download the file. |
