One numerical and two physical models are combined to study shoreline erosion problems at Buhne Point (Humboldt Bay), California. Flood and ebb tide levels and currents are computed with a vertically integrated hydrodynamic model of Humboldt Bay, and are verified against prototype measurements. This tidal information provides boundary conditions for the two physical models. A 1:100‐scale model is used to determine local wave climates near Buhne Point from hindcast data. The tidal and wave information from these models are used in a 1:50‐scale model, to simulate shoreline changes at Buhne Point from 1966–1980, and to develop a shoreline stabilization plan for the site. An optimum plan is tested in the model with a wide range of tides and waves to insure that the plan would not erode. The plan was constructed at Buhne Point in 1984 and now functions successfully, as predicted by the model study. |
