Salinity Intrusion Modeling Effort – Section Model

Title: Salinity Intrusion Modeling Effort – Section Model

Background:

The Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL) located within the Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC), Vicksburg, MS supports other programs, agencies and missions with the assistance of DPW in building physical models to meet critical mission research, design validations, discover any issues that may arise within the design and/or develop any possible required solutions to mitigate challenges facing a particular structural improvement or new structure being developed. This Salinity Intrusion Modeling Effort – Section Model Study material will support a physical section model performing the abovementioned tasks.

Objective:

This supply request is critical for the Salinity Intrusion Modeling Effort Physical Section Model Study. The near field hydrodynamics of the stratified flow conditions in the near vicinity of the standard and augmented Mississippi River sills are not clearly understood. The ERDC supports the modeling effort to better understand the forces/hydrodynamics at the sill location by utilizing a section model, general model, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. This work is critical to understanding the most efficient design for preventing the salt wedge from migrating upstream and potentially affecting millions of people.
