Appearance controls use arbitrary scene units. Selecting an experiment resets water appearance to an illustrative view of that case. Wave attenuation and inundation are not solved.

About the reconstructions

This basin is an original, simplified interpretation of Figure 1 and the documented site components. They are not surveyed replicas or validated hydraulic simulations.

Reference & scope

Michael J. Briggs (2013), Basics of Physical Modeling in Coastal and Hydraulic Engineering, ERDC/CHL CHETN-XIII-3, Figure 1, p.2.

Photo captions supply the model categories and documented scales. The geometry, terrain elevations and structures shown here are illustrative. No erosion, levee failure, structural loads, navigation safety, wave diffraction or tsunami runup is calculated.

This first scene focuses exclusively on Figure 1. Geometry is schematic pending digitization of the original survey and model-layout drawing.

Seabergh (2010): original study

IPET Appendix 12: layout & construction

Full Seabergh paper reviewed: Tables 1–3 supply the selectable cases. Figure 6 informs location relationships; surveyed geometry is still unavailable. Bridge head-loss curves (Figures 17–18) have not been digitized.
