Bridge abutment scour is a complex phenomenon, which significantly affects bridge stability and is responsible for the damage and failures of many bridges over waterways across the world. Given the widespread and devastating human and societal costs, num...

A three-dimensional large eddy simulation model is used to simulate the turbulent flow dynamics around a circular pier in live-bed and clear-water scour conditions. The Navier?Stokes equations are transformed into a ??

Spur dikes are elongated structures extending from banks into rivers that mitigate erosion by forcing the flow away from the bank. The research on grouped spur dikes is insufficient in comparison with those on isolated spur dikes. Most of the studies foc...

Local scour holes are erosional bed structures that are related to different scientific disciplines in Earth science and hydraulic engineering. Local scouring at naturally placed boulders is ubiquitous, but many competing factors make it difficult to iso...

Scouring around the bridge pier is a natural and complex phenomenon that results in bridge failure. Failure of bridges have potential devastation and public safety and economic loss, which lead to political consequences and environmental impacts. Therefo...

River bridge piers may collapse due to the local scour around their foundations. It is known that local scour is an effect of the three-dimensional flow field that develops near the pier and that the geometric complexity of a non-cylindrical pier may, co...

The local scour around offshore pile foundations often seriously affects the normal operation of offshore wind power. The most widely used numerical simulation method in the study of local scour is the Euler two-fluid model (TFM). However, the contact ef...

Local scour is a dynamic process evolving during the lifetime of bridges as a result of the changes in hydrologic and hydraulic conditions. Current approaches for scour risk assessment are generally based on the evaluation of the equilibrium scour depth ...

Factors such as flow and sediment characteristics affecting the spur dike?s local depth of erosion have yielded considerable research results, but there is little discussion of the geometry of the spur dike?s local scour holes. This study focuses on the ...

Understanding the effects of riparian vegetation under sediment-laden flow is becoming crucial due to the increase in frequency of extreme weather events. This study designed three densities and nine random distributions of bent flexible vegetation in fl...
