The main aims and contributions of the present paper are to use new soft computing
methods for the simulation of scour geometry (depth/height and locations) in a comparative …

Vegetation in channels strongly affects flow structure and turbulence, with consequences on
the hydrological storage of nutrients and chemical tracers, the shelter of stream biota as well …

Abstract Movable-bed Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) simulations of local scour
around bridge piers and abutments without ad hoc corrections tend to underestimate scour …

This paper presents the spatio-temporal variations in bed elevations and the near-bed
turbulence statistics over the deformed bed generated around the submerged cylindrical …

Scour in the vicinity of a hydraulic structure may compromise its geotechnical stability or that
of nearby structures. Much fundamental research has been dedicated to the understanding …

Grade control structures are commonly used to prevent degradation, increase bank and bed
of rivers stability and prevent cross structures failure in rivers. To safe design grade control …

The present study consists of a new mathematical-experimental investigation on local scour
downstream of a rigid bed. New scouring experiments, under both steady and unsteady flow …

This work presents a study of spatiotemporal changes of scour-holes around sand
embedded submerged circular and non-circular cylinders with associated turbulence …

Grade control structures are commonly used for river restoration projects by changing the
upstream river bed slope and the approaching flow conditions. Thus, a safe design of grade …

The prediction of the maximum depth of the scour hole formed downstream of overflow dams
is critical in determining the safety of hydraulic structures. Most of the conventional formulae …
