Wave and Current Conditions for Various Modifications of Kewalo Basin, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii, Hydraulic Model Investigation.

摘要

A 1:75-scale undistorted hydraulic model of Kewalo Basin, Oahu, Hawaii, and sufficient offshore area to permit generation of the required test waves was used to develop and test several plans of improvement proposed to eliminate: (a) crosscurrents in the entrance channel, (b) the presence of peaking and breaking waves in the entrance channel, and (c) undesirable wave action in the basin. Improvement plans consisted of (a) a proposed wave absorber along the channel sides, (b) various jetty plans, (c) removal of the channel shoal, and (d) various combinations of the above. A 50-ft-long wave machine and an electrical wave height measuring and recording apparatus were used in the model. Tests were conducted with existing conditions installed and the results were compared with those for various improvement plans.
