This article presents a review of the state of research on bridge pier scour under combined
wave–current flow. The hydrodynamics and scour around the bridge pier under combined …

Experiments and numerical simulations are carried out to study clear-water scour around
three bridge piers with cylindrical, square, and diamond cross-sectional shape, respectively …

This study utilizes three-dimensional simulations to investigate scour in combined wave–
current flows around rectangular piles with various aspect ratios. The simulation model …

Scour around non-circular cylinders has seldom been studied before. This paper aims to
numerically investigate the flow behaviour and evolution of local scour around two single …

This study concerns the flow and associated sediment transport in front of a cylinder in
steady currents. The study comprises (i) flow characteristics induced by the turbulent …

Scour was responsible for most of the US bridges that collapsed during the past 40 years.
Due to erosion and refilling of riverbed deposits under strong current, the maximum scour …

Pier scour has been cited as the main mechanism responsible for the failure of bridges
spanning rivers. Despite extensive research since the 1950s, there is no universally agreed …

Bridge scour is the erosion of sediments around bridge piers or abutments due to flowing
water. It is the number one cause of bridge failures in the United States. However, the …

Three-dimensional numerical simulations of water flow around a vertical circular pier using
the'large Eddy simulation'method are presented. All simulations were performed using the …

Bridge scour is a complicated process involving the interactions between flow and bridge
piers and between flow and bed sediment. The existing numerical studies often coupled …
