Presented in this paper is an experimental study on scour downstream of rough and smooth
stiff aprons under the influence of wall jets. The effect of various parameters on asymptotic …

This study investigates the performance of six machine learning (ML) models–Random
Forest (RF), Adaptive Boosting (ADA), CatBoost (CAT), Support Vector Machine (SVM) …

In river engineering, scouring around hydraulic structures constructed on erodible beds is
highly attractive because of its impact on the stability of these structures. Accordingly …

Background Local scour is one of the main problems affecting the stability and operation of
control hydraulic structures. Many techniques were used to control the resulting scour. In the …

The local scour downstream of a rigid apron, caused by submerged wall jets from sluice
gate openings, is critically important as it poses a significant threat to structural stability. This …

This study examines the scour depth induced by turbulent wall jets and proposes novel
mathematical formulations to predict the depth of scouring. Through a comprehensive …

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 …

Presented in this chapter is an evaluation of laboratory experimental data relating to local
scour under the action of two-dimensional jets using soft-computing approach. Performance …

One of the main interests of researchers is the local scour downstream hydraulic structures
due to free hydraulic jump, which can cause massive damage or collapse for hydraulic …

Further development of instrumentation and software for hydraulic measurements, data
analysis and visualization allows for a more comprehensive understanding of hydraulic …
