1 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Investigation on the Implementation of Nautical Depth Tim Welp, Steve Reid, and Dennis Webb Tim Welp Research Hydraulic Engineer ERDC Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory 25 October 2012
2 Definition of Fluid Mud Fluid mud is a high concentration aqueous suspension of fine-grained sediment in which settling is substantially hindered by the proximity of sediment grains and flocs, but which has not formed an inter-connected matrix of bonds strong enough to eliminate the potential for mobility, leading to a persistent suspension. McAnally et al. 2007
3 What is Fluid Mud?
4 Problem Statement Why Is It A Problem? Sounding pole, lead line, and acoustic echo sounding will generally not correlate with one another, or give consistent readings from one time to the next when the same type of instrument is used in fluid mud (Hydro EM). Measurement ambiguity has hindered optimization of Corps management of Gulfport Ship Channel.

18 Implementation Plan Upgrade SAM with state-of-practice fluid mud surveying equipment and train personnel on its use to determine where nautical bottom is (1.2 gm/cm 3 horizon). Develop hydrodynamic model for ERDC ship simulator to calculate ship response to the variety of forces (Gulfport-specific environmental and mariner controlled) being exerted upon the vessel w/o fluid mud. Modify ship simulator with Ghent University/Flemish Hydraulics Institute fluid mud/ship maneuverability hydraulic coefficients. Have Gulfport Pilots drive simulator with fluid mud, then with different fluid mud densities and underkeel clearances to accept nautical depth criteria. Monitor dredging to optimize maintenance dredging contract management.
