| Summary: | of the Kings Bay/Cumberland Sound estuarine system was used to investigate hydrodynamic and sedimentation variations associated with Trident channel expansion. The models generally demonstrated small velocity differences between the pre-Trident base channel condition and the enlarged Trident channel condition tested. Reduced velocity magnitudes in the deepened upper Kings Bay turning basin demonstrated the largest base-to-plan velocity differences. Subtle circulation differences were identified. The deepened and widened Trident plar channel increased flood and ebb volume transport efficiency of the submarine channel througt St. Marys Inlet into Cumberland Sound and Kings Bay. Increased discharge through and past Kings Bay changed the phasing relationships north of Kings Bay. Although not an explicit objective of the modeling efforts, tidal effects were examined. The tested plan condition resulted in higher high-water and midtide level (Continued) |
