Severe local erosion reaching depths up to 33.5 m (110ft) bas occured during the past few years near the mouth of Indian River Inlet in the State of Delaware. It is feared that the erosion may extend and endanger the bank rip rap stability. The problem was investigated by the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, MS. at the request of the U.S. Army Engineer District, Philadelphia. Field data collected at the site in June 1994 included sediment samples and current measurements using ADCP. Laboratory tests were conducted on the sediment samples obtained from the site in order to determine the sediment chracterization, critical shear stress for erosion, and the rate of erosion under different bed shear stresses. Analysis of current data combined with the results of sediment experiments did not provide conclusive reasons for the severe erosion experienced at the site; however, the data will be useful for future investigations including modeling.
