| Résumé | This report describes a three-dimensional mobile-bed physical model study conducted to support the development of the Hillman Marsh and Barrier Beach Restoration Plan. The model was commissioned by SJL Engineering and was performed by the Ocean, Coastal, and River Engineering Research Centre of the National Research Council (NRC-OCRE).
A three-dimensional physical model of the foreshore and shoreline at the project site was designed and constructed at a geometric scale of 1:40 in NRC’s Large Area Basin located in Ottawa, Canada. The beach sediment was modelled using fine sand that deformed naturally in response to wave forcing. The model was outfitted with a segmented wave machine to generate a range of realistic sea states and equipped with instrumentation to measure wave conditions, wave-induced nearshore currents, and changes in the shape of the beach. The model provided a reasonable simulation of the hydrodynamic and sedimentary processes at the site.
Nearly 100 individual tests were conducted to assess the impact of the proposed coastal structures on the wave conditions and nearshore currents, as well as their effect on sediment transport processes and the response of the beach, for a range of prescribed wave conditions and water levels. These investigations generated a large quantity of valuable information that will be used by SJL Engineering to optimize and support the detailed design of the shoreline improvements and obtain the necessary permits required for construction. |
