Local scouring around bridge piers is a natural phenomenon caused by the erosive process
of flowing stream on alluvial beds. The 3D flow field around bridge piers interacting with the
bed materials increases complexity of local scour process. The local scour depth develops
in accelerated flows and if it is not predicted correctly, the bottom level of local scour hole will
exceed the original level of pier foundation. In this case the failure of bridge will occur. Using
