Los Angeles and Long Beach Harbors Model Study. Deep-Draft Dry Bulk Export Terminal, Alternative Number 6. Resonant Response and Tidal Circulation Studies

摘要

The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have shown continual patterns of growth in commerce which require the planning for additional harbor basins, ship-mooring facilities, and the dredging of deeper channels to accommodate this expansion. To achieve a successful plan for harbor growth it is necessary to investigate, among other factors, the effect a plan will have on tidal flushing of the harbor area and on harbor resonance, where long-period harbor oscillations are important with regard to moored-ship movement. The purpose of the study described in this report concerns the investigation of a plan for a deep-draft dry bulk terminal. Both tidal circulation and harbor resonance were studied for a variety of test conditions.
