Military Engineering. The system was recently used to monitor suspended sediment size and settling rates in the salt wedge in the lower MS River. Abstract: The Automated Coastal Engineering System (ACES) is an interactive computer-based design and analysis system in the field of coastal engineering. In response to a charge by the Chief of Engineers, LTG E. Heiberg Ill, to the Coastal Engineering Research Board (US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, 1985) to provide improved.

Abstract : The Automated Coastal Engineering System (ACES) is an interactive computer-based design and analysis system in the field of coastal engineering. The general goal of the ACES s to provide state-of-the-art computer based tools that will increase .the accuracy, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of Corps coastal engineering endeavors. Reflecting the nature of coast al engineering, methodologies (called applications in this guide) contained in this release of the ACES are richly diverse in sophistication and origin. The contents range from simple algebraic expressions, both theoretical and empirical in origin, to-numerically intense algorithms spawned by the increasing power and affordability of computers. Historically, the methods range from classical theory describing wave motion, to expressions resulting from tests of structures in wave flumes, and to recent numerical models describing the exchange of energy from the atmosphere to the sea surface. In a general procedural sense, much has been taken from previous individual programs on both mainframes and microcomputers. The ACES is designed for a current base of PC-AT (including compatibles) class of personal computers resident at many Corps coastal offices. While expected to migrate to more powerful hardware technologies, this current generation of ACES is designed for the above environment and is written in FORTRAN 77.
