The Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army, is charged by Congress with the responsibility of establishing and maintaining navigable channels to the major seaports of the United States. This responsibility frequently involves the establishment of a navigable channel at tidal inlets and estuaries. To advise the Chief of Engineers in this phase of his work, a Committee on Tidal Hydraulics has been set up with the Corps of Engineers. This Committee, among other duties, arranges to have technical studies made of various problems connected with the establishment and maintenance of channels in tidal waterways. One of the problems encountered at tidal entrances is that of flow patterns-velocity and direction-which develop at the various inlets selected for navigation improvements. This problem has not received sufficient attention in the past to bring about a quantitive understanding of these flow patterns. As one step in overcoming this lack of understanding, the Committee requested assistance from the Mechanics Division of this Bureau of Standards in laying the theoretical groundwork for the solution of this problem. Arrangements for this assistance were made by the Beach Erosion Board of the Corps of Engineers in a letter, dated 20 October 1950, to the National Bureau of Standards.
