A 1:60-scale, three-dimensional hydraulic model was used to investigate the design of a proposed harbor at Barking Sands, Kauai, Hawaii, with respect to wave action and entrance channel shoaling. The model reproduced the proposed harbor, approximately 4,600 ft of the Hawaiian shoreline, and sufficient offshore area in the Pacific Ocean to permit generation of the required test waves. One harbor configuration with two breakwater plans was tested. An 80-ft-long unidirectional, spectral wave generator, an automated data acquisition and control system, and a crushed coal tracer material were used in model operation.
