Cape Fear Inlet

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Project Objectives

The purpose of this project is to examine the impact of channel realignment on morphology change at the Cape Fear Entrance Channel. The entrance channel to Wilmington Harbor is bounded by Oak Head Island to the west and Bald Head Island to the south east.

Model Setup

The CMS model was used in a nested grid configuration. The wave model grid covered a 16 x 16 km area using a refined grid. The flow model grid was designed much more locally to the project site.
