Using side flow jets as a scour countermeasure downstream of a sluice gate

open access: yesBeni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2021
Background Local scour is one of the main problems affecting the stability and operation of control hydraulic structures. Many techniques were used to control the resulting scour.

Physical Modeling of Local Scouring around Bridge Piers in Erodable Bed

open access: yesJournal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences, 2007
The construction of bridges in alluvial channels will cause a contraction in the waterway at the bridge site. The contraction in the waterway will cause a significant scour at that site.

Numerical Simulation on the Local Scour Processing and Influencing Factors of Submarine Pipeline

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
To investigate the different influencing characteristics of local scour around submarine pipelines, hydrodynamic and sediment transport two-dimensional models based on Flow-3D are used to numerically simulate the local scour around the pipeline under ...

Local Scour Near Flexible Flow Deflectors [PDF]

open access: yesWater, 2020
Rigid flow deflectors are usually used on water flow beds to protect engineering structures such as breakwater in coasts and to regulate flow routes in open channels. To reduce its side-effects, i.e., local scour at the toe of deflectors, a flexible flow deflector is proposed, and the corresponding local scour was investigated in this study.

Modeling of local scour depth downstream hydraulic structures in trapezoidal channel using GEP and ANNs

open access: yesAin Shams Engineering Journal, 2013
Local scour downstream stilling basins is so complex that it makes it difficult to establish a general empirical model to provide accurate estimation for scour depth. Lack estimation of local scour can endanger to stability of hydraulic structure and can

Clean Cut (adaptive, multimodal surgical infection prevention programme) for low‐resource settings: a prospective quality improvement study

open access: yesBJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
Clean Cut is a multimodal, adaptive, checklist‐based infection prevention programme designed to improve compliance with six critical perioperative infection prevention practices. After introducing the programme at five hospitals in Ethiopia, compliance with critical infection prevention standards significantly improved and the relative risk of ...

Local scour around a bridge pier under ice-jammed flow condition – an experimental study

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2021
The appearance of an ice jam in a river crucially distorts local hydrodynamic conditions including water level, flow velocity, riverbed form and local scour processes.

Evaluation of local scour around bridge piers for various geometrical shapes using mathematical models

open access: yesAin Shams Engineering Journal, 2018
Bridges are one of the important structures across the Nile River; these bridges may be subjected to collapse if there is no monitoring or safety precaution for local scour during high floods.

Localized Turbulent Flows on Scouring Granular Beds [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2005
In many applications a sustained, localized turbulent flow scours a cohesionless granular bed to form a pothole. Here we use similarity methods to derive a theoretical formula for the equilibrium depth of the pothole. Whereas the empirical formulas customarily used in applications contain numerous free exponents, the theoretical formula contains a ...

Experimental investigation of local scour around multi-vents bridge piers

open access: yesAlexandria Engineering Journal, 2015
The harmful effect of local scour around bridge piers and abutments can induce high maintenance costs or even bridge collapse resulting in the disturbance of traffic and possibly human losses.
