Coastal Engineering for Renovation of San Francisco Marina West Yacht Harbor
Coastal engineering analysis and numerical modeling were performed for the San Francisco Marina West Yacht Harbor Renovation to develop engineering solutions for improving wave conditions in the marina and reducing sedimentation in the entrance channel. Analysis was performed using hydrographic survey data sets to quantify and locate sedimentation patterns in the entrance channel, and alternative mechanisms for reducing sedimentation were evaluated. The wave systems at the West Harbor are complex and formed of three main components: Pacific Ocean swell arriving through the Golden Gate, harbor seiche generated by the swell, and wind- waves from the north and northeast. To maximize wave protection in the harbor, breakwater designs were evaluated considering all three wave systems. Numerical modeling and analysis was also performed to evaluate changes in currents caused by the project, including entrance channel flow changes that impact navigation safety, and changes in marina water quality.
