This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land loss restoration along the southeast Louisiana coast relies on the replenishment of sand from the sediment of the Mississippi River. To further the understanding of sediment transport and hydraulic characteristics of the lowermost segment of the river, the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) funded construction of the Lower Mississippi River Physical Model (LMRPM). This distorted-scale, movable bed model encompasses the lowermost 193-mile reach of the river, including from Donaldsonville, Louisiana to the Gulf of Mexico the Bonnet Carre Spillway and planned river sediment diversions. Designed to replicate the prototypical river hydraulics and bulk bedload (sand) transport, scaled historic river discharges are routed through the model.. Lightweight synthetic particles representing the very fine to fine grain sand sediments of the lower river are injected based on the results of a numerical sediment transport simulation from Tarbert Landing to the Gulf of Mexico. The depths and opaqueness of the model make it challenging to non-destructively measure real-time sediment transport. The objective of the research is employ non-destructive methods to measure reach-by-reach sediment levels that can be used to predict the scour and deposition of the bed load sediments. Having a method to locate and quantity sediment accumulations would benefit both navigational and coastal restoration stakeholders. During a LMRPM test of 1995 through 1999 discharges, ultrasonic sensors measured the sediment bed levels along a 17-mile reach of the model. Measured year-to-year bed elevation changes were translated into volumetric changes and compared to computed bed volume changes using boundary shear stress results from 1-D, unsteady flow numerical simulations. The measured-to-observed data, plotted in a scatter graph, align closely to 1:1 regression line of observed-to-observed values validating the process. This approach was also shown to successfully predict deposition patterns in one of the prototype lowermost river crossings.

Download or read book Suspended Sediment and Bed Material Studies on the Lower Mississippi River written by Lamont G. Robbins and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ultimate purpose of sediment studies is to develop a workable knowledge of the basic principles controlling the transport of sediment in the Lower Mississippi River and to apply this knowledge toward effective and economical stabilization works for flood control and navigation. The more immediate purpose of this report, however, is to present the data that have been collected and analyzed to date (1929-1974) and to show what trends exist in the quantities and sizes of suspended and bed sediments for the Vicksburg District.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US Army Engineer District, New Orleans has been evaluating the feasibility of deeper draft access to the ports of New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. One of the factors being considered in the evaluation is the impact of the deeper channel on salinity intrusion in the Lower Mississippi River. The importance of such an evaluation is because the city of New Orleans relies primarily upon the Mississippi River for its supply of fresh water. A major reason for conducting the numerical modeling study was not only to evaluate the impact of a deeper channel on salinity intrusion using historical riverflows but also to use the numerical model to determine the impact on the wedge intrusion of increasing the height of natural river crossings, i.e., creating a sill in the river. To address the question of the stability of such a sill composed of natural sediment, the HEC-6 computer program Scour and Deposition in Rivers and Reservoirs, HEC (1977), was applied.
