 | At the request of the U.S. Army Engineer District, Honolulu, a coastal physical model investigation of Maalaea Harbor was conducted. Purposes of this investigation included: (a) evaluating various structural alternatives for reducing wave heights within the harbor, (b) improving navigation conditions at the harbor entrance, and (c) evaluating the effects of the various alternatives on the surfing sites which is believed to be a first for this type of investigation. ... |

| A 1:75-scale (undistorted) three-dimensional coastal hydraulic model was used to investigate the design of proposed improvements for enhancement of wave-induced circulation at Kaunakakai Harbor, Molokai, HI. The model reproduced approximately 2,010 m (6,600 ft) of the Molokai shoreline, the existing causeway and harbors, and sufficient offshore bathymetry in the Pacific Ocean to permit generation of the required experimental waves. A 21.3-rn-long (70-ft-long) spectral wave generator, an automated data acquisition system, ... |

| A 1:10-scale (undistorted) three-dimensional coastal hydraulic model was initially used to investigate the design of proposed harbor improvements at St. Paul Harbor, St. Paul Island, Alaska, with respect to wave and current conditions in the harbor and sediment patterns at the site. Wave-induced circulation and sediment patterns seaward of the main breakwater as a result of submerged reefs were investigated. Proposed improvements consisted of deepening the entrance channel, constructing a ... |

|
| A 1:75-scale undistorted hydraulic model was used to evaluate the effectiveness of a proposed segmented reef structure, oriented lakeward of the existing Burns Waterway Harbor breakwater, in reducing wave heights reaching the existing breakwaters. The model reproduced bathymetry which extended to an offshore depth of -46 ft in Lake Michigan. and the proposed reef breakwater was located in water depths ranging from -39 to -41 ft. The total area reproduced ... |

|
 | A physical model study, using a 1:100 scale (undistorted) hydraulic model of Los Angeles Outer Harbor, California, was conducted to investigate short-period storm wave conditions for proposed harbor development located near the Angel's Gate entrance. The model reproduced two stages of the proposed Pier 400 dredging and landfill project, Angel's Gate entrance, portions of the existing breakwaters, and sufficient bathymetry in San Pedro Bay to permit proper reproduction of the ... |
