10. ABSTRACT (CdntBaum ea reveram aCtBa Ft i imjceeaa ry aotl Identity by block number) 



This is a comprehensive report describing the use of hydraulic models to 

 assist in the solution of complex coastal engineering problems. This report 

 provides information for use by both the laboratory research engineer and the 

 field design engineer on the capabilities and limitations of coastal hydraulic 

 modeling procedures. The report is intended to provide sufficient information 

 to document the state-of-the-art of scale modeling practiced by the U.S. Army 

 Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES); and for field design engineers
