The erosion process at a bridge abutment may be affected by the flow constriction when the
abutment occupies a significant part of the flume width. We devised a specific experimental …

The two-dimensional local scour occurring downstream from a submerged sluice gate for
various tailwater depths was studied using a video imaging technique and a laser-Doppler …

In this study, the effect of grain size on the dynamics of local scour processes is discussed in
the context of the erosion that takes place downstream from a submerged sluice gate. Four …

An experimental program was carried out to understand scour caused by a plane wall jet. A
two-dimensional laser Doppler anemometer was used to characterize the velocity field at …

The local scouring around the pier, is one of major cause of the bridges failure worldwide.
Compared to the flow hydraulics in single channels, the flow pattern in compound channels …

The cause of local scour around a bridge abutment is mainly the presence of spiraling vortex
flow structure called the principal vortex. A rigid surface around an abutment with a collar …

Laboratory experimental results on local scour at short abutments (abutment length: flow
depth ratio≤ 1), namely vertical-wall, 45° wing-wall and semicircular, in uniform and non …

Cet article dresse un rapport sur une étude en laboratoire qui examine l'efficacité de palettes
submergées sur le contrôle de l'érosion au niveau de sections courbes de canaux fortement …

This study presents findings from two-dimensional depth-averaged flow models used to
investigate distributions of flow velocity, unit discharge, and boundary shear stress …

The bridge scour depths in cohesive soil have been predicted using the scour equations
developed for cohesionless soils due to scarce of studies about cohesive soil. The scour …
