The results of an experimental investigation on scour of noncohesive sediment beds
(uniform and nonuniform sediments) downstream of an apron due to a submerged …

Stability of hydraulic structures is threatened by persistent scour downstream of the apron,
which renders their foundations exposed. Jets issuing under the sluice gate are turbulent …

Local scour around a bridge pier is a complex phenomenon resulting from the interaction of
the three-dimensional turbulent flow field around hydraulic structures. An accurate …

This study investigates the performance of six machine learning (ML) models–Random
Forest (RF), Adaptive Boosting (ADA), CatBoost (CAT), Support Vector Machine (SVM) …

Previous investigations on initiation of motion and erosion of cohesive sediment mixtures
have not included gravel within the mixtures. Experimental results on the incipient motion …

An improved neuro-fuzzy based group method of data handling using the particle swarm
optimization (NF-GMDH-PSO) is developed as an adaptive learning network to predict the …

Numerous investigations have already been conducted to characterize the effects of
influencing parameters on scouring process in order to derive an accurate predictive …

Estimating the maximum scour depth of sluice outlets is pivotal in hydrological engineering,
directly influencing the safety and efficiency of water infrastructure. This research compared …

Rock and stepped gabion weirs are peculiar hydraulic structures that received relatively little
attention in technical literature. Nevertheless, they can be successfully used for river …

Local scour downstream of hydraulic structures due to hydraulic jump is considered one of
the tedious and complicated problems facing their stability. Throughout this paper, an …
