The mechanism of bridge pier scour becomes more complex in the presence of debris
accumulation upstream of the pier. While using countermeasures may be effective in …

Numerous models have been proposed in the past to predict the maximum scour depth
around bridge piers. These studies have all focused on the different parameters that could …

In this study, experimental investigations of the flow pattern around an oblong pier (OP)
mounted on a rigid flat surface are carried out in a laboratory flume and the results are …

Turbulent flow features around three different objects of cylindrical shapes were investigated
under identical flow conditions, using particle image velocimetry (PIV). Experiments were …

This study investigates the turbulent flow properties experimentally in the vicinity of two side-
by-side circular cylinders, along with the influence of the third cylinder of the same …

In this study, the results are presented and discussed from laboratory test campaigns
specifically designed to investigate the behavior of sacrificial piles as a countermeasure …

Flow in river bends is associated with generation of secondary flows that leads to a rather
complicated flow pattern around bridge piers located in the bend. In this study, the flow …

The characteristics of scour hole around the submerged tandem pier in alluvial bed plays an
important role in analyzing the problem of parallel bridge failures. The present study …

In this paper, a series of numerical experiments are carried out on the anti-scour device
combined with perforated baffle and ring-wing plate. In addition, the optimal dimensions and …

This book covers fluid dynamics and fluvial processes, including basics applicable to open
channel flow followed by turbulence characteristics related to sediment-laden flows. It …
