A real-time ship simulation investigation of the proposed design for deepening and widening the man-made Brazos Island Harbor Channel, Brownsville, Texas, was conducted. The purpose of this study was to determine if the navigation channel could be deepened from 36 to 42 ft without widening the existing channel width of 200 ft or if the channel required widening to 250 or 300 ft as authorized. Mathematical models of the existing ship channel from the Gulf of model was verified by a member of the Brazos-Santiago Pilot's Association. Mathematical models of three plans were also developed, one with the existing channel deepened to 42 ft, one with the channel widened to 250 ft and deepended 42 ft, and the other with the channel widened to 300 ft and deepended to for tow traffic. Tests were run in Brownsville on the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station portable ship simulator.
