NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF TIDAL CIRCULATION FOR LONG BEACH HARBOR. REPORT 3. EXISTING CONDITIONS AND ALTERNATE PLANS FOR PIER J COMPLETION AND TANKER TERMINAL STUDY WITH -82 FT CHANNEL

The purpose of this phase of the Long Beach Harbor model study was to numerically investigate the impact on existing harbor circulation of alternate master plan Pier J configurations with a -82 ft channel on tidal circulation. This report describes the application of a previously verified numerical model in a completely predictive mode to evaluate the effect of alternate Pier J configurations and a -82 ft channel on tidal circulation.
