Harbor Development Study Progress Report for June - December, 1949: Model Studies for Harbor Development

Abstract

The general objective of the Harbor Development Study is the investigation of the wave energy distribution in simple harbor areas, with the specific objective of determining design principles which will permit the prediction of harbor performance. The progress accomplished to date has consisted of the analysis of the problem in terms of applicable physical principles, the review of present knowledge or these principles, the formulation of a general laboratory program, and the construction of the laboratory facilities required for the first phase of the program. This report considers each of these items in turn.
