Modeling Circulation in Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbors

by S. Rao Vemulakonda, US Army Engineer Waterways, Experiment Station, United States,

Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Estuarine and Coastal Modeling

Abstract:

A three-dimensional hydrodynamic model was applied to Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbors to determine tide- and wind-induced circulation. The model was calibrated and verified successfully with field data collected in 1987. Model results were used to drive a separate water quality model. As a demonstration of model use, the impact of a plan condition on harbor hydrodynamics was examined.
