Scour of sediments around bridge foundations by the stream is the most significant
contributing factor for bridge failures. The scour failures tend to occur without prior warning …

A spur dike is a hydraulic structure, protruding in a river or channel used for several
purposes like protection of river-bank erosion and deepening of the main channel. The …

ABSTRACT Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) represents a useful tool to study natural
currents in the rivers and estuaries with erosive materials; therefore, it is always in the keen …

Groynes are popular hydraulic structures often used to control the erosion of banks by
altering flow and sediment transport. In this paper, the effects of altering groyne orientation …

In this study a new approach was proposed to determine optimum parameters of a protective
spur dike to mitigate scouring depth amount around existing main spur dikes. The studied …

Abstract In this study, Computational Fluid Dynamics software (ANSYS Fluent) is used to
investigate the turbulence and flow characteristics around spur dike in an open channel …

Bridge pier is a common feature in hydraulic structure. Its impact to the river usually occurs in
group form rather than single pier, so this challenging piers-group influence towards river …

Blockage through crossing structures is one of the dangerous problems that threaten its
stability. There are few researches concerned with blockage shape in culverts and its effect …

The current work uses an experimental method to analyse a multiscale statistical
assessment of scour depth surrounding the spur dikes with downward seepage. The …

The flow properties, sediment moving and geomorphology in the grouped spur dikes field
have always been of interest in river engineering. In this paper, a 3D numerical model is …
