Scouring around bridge piers significantly threatens bridge stability and can cause tragic
failures if not addressed effectively. Several remedial techniques have been developed to …

Numerical and experimental studies were carried out to investigate the effect of different
contraction ratios and entrance angles of bridge abutment on local scour depth. A 3-D …

Various methods are proposed to control scouring around a bridge abutment. In this study,
experiments were conducted at a vertical wall abutment in a laboratory flume to explore the …

Local scouring in the vicinity of bridge piers which are implemented in the natural streams is
the subsequent of 3D complex flow patterns. During the local scour process the accelerated …

Sudden and often fluctuations of water discharges and levels in the downstream reach of the
hydropower plant make water fauna and flora existence conditions unbearable. Besides, a …

Scour is a natural phenomenon caused by the removal of silt from alluvial beds caused by a
stream's erosion, which happens around or next to moving water structures. Various studies …

Local scour and flow field around cylinders with lenticular geometry and different bluntness
factors under the clear-water state were investigated numerically. To examine the scouring …

Bridge pier as a crucial part of a bridge is used for various marine and transportation
purposes. Local scouring around the bridge pier is a prominent cause which leads to the …

Local scouring around hydraulic structures such as bridge piers is the consequence of the
erosive process of stream flows on alluvial beds. Since, the local scouring around real …
