A 1:100 scale (undistorted) hydraulic model of Los Angeles Outer Harbor, California, was used initially to investigate short-period storm wave conditions for proposed harbor development located near the Angel's Gate entrance. The model reproduced the proposed harbor expansion, Angel's Gate entrance, portions of the existing breakwaters, and sufficient bathymetry in San Pedro Bay to permit generation of the required test waves. The model was reactivated to determine the optimum plan for protection of the south mooring area (from locally generated waves in the harbors' complex) if the adjacent Port of Long Beach and/or the Pactex landfills are not constructed initially. An 80 ft-Iong electro-hydraulic, unidirectional, spectral wave generator and an automated data acquisition and control system were used in model operation.
