Hydrodynamics and Morphologic Modelling of Alternative Design Scenarios Using CMS: Shippagan Gully, New Brunswick

Shippagan Gully is a highly dynamic tidal inlet located on the Gulf of St-Lawrence near Le Goulet, New Brunswick. This tidal inlet is highly unusual due to the fact that the inlet has two open boundaries with phase lagged tidal cycles that drives flow through the inlet. Over the past few decades, the shipping activities through the inlet have been threatened due to the narrowing of the navigation channel caused by deposited sediment on the east side of the channel. Many engineering projects have been undertaken at Shippagan Gully in order to try and mitigate the deposition problem. However, these attempts have either been unsuccessful or the engineered structures have deteriorated over the years. This study uses the CMS-Flow and CMS-Wave numerical models to provide guidance concerning the response of the inlet to various potential interventions aimed at improving navigation safety.
