A two-dimensional hydrodynamic model and a sediment transport model were developed for Mitchell's Cut inlet management study. The models were used to assess the existing condition to address sedimentation and navigation problems at Mitchell's Cut. The models were also applied to evaluate inlet management alternatives. Model results show that sedimentation in the interior channels of the inlet system is likely caused mainly by sand transported from the Gulf by flood tide and partly by mud transported from East Matagorda Bay by ebb tide. The inlet is naturally stable. A jetty alternative shows promising performance as it can significantly reduce sedimentation with little change in the hydraulic regime of the study area.
