Scour Characteristics and Equilibrium Scour Depth Prediction around Umbrella Suction Anchor Foundation under Random Waves

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
A series of numerical simulation were conducted to study the local scour around umbrella suction anchor foundation (USAF) under random waves. In this study, the validation was carried out firstly to verify the accuracy of the present model.

Local scour around two pipelines in tandem in steady current

open access: yes, 2014
In this study, local scour around two identical pipelines in a tandem arrangement are investigated numerically. Two-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations are solved for simulating the flow around the pipelines and the conservation ...

Multi-approach analysis of maximum riverbed scour depth above subway tunnel

open access: yesWater Science and Engineering, 2010
When subway tunnels are routed underneath rivers, riverbed scour may expose the structure, with potentially severe consequences. Thus, it is important to identify the maximum scour depth to ensure that the designed buried depth is adequate.

Scour-inducing flow around gravity anchors astride pipelines in currents

open access: yes, 2014
This study simulated steady currents travelling past gravity anchors astride pipelines wallmounted on an immobile bed. Three-dimensional governing equations were solved with a Petrov–Galerkin finite element method.

Numerical Investigation of Local Scour Around Bridge Pile-Group Foundations Under Steady Flows

open access: yesInfrastructures
Local scour around pile-group foundations is a predominant cause of hydraulic instability in bridge engineering. This study employs a fully coupled three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model to investigate local scour around a 2 × 2 inline pile

Effects of pile caps on local scour at bridge piers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The most existing pier-scour equations mainly apply to uniformly shaped piers. However, pier footings may often project above the streambed because of scour. This may be caused by either long-term bed degradation or local scour.

Scour Around Porous and Solid Structures: Sediment Transport, Porosity Effects, and Semi‐Theoretical Scour Evolution Model

open access: yesWater Resources Research
A high‐fidelity 3D computational model, ibScourFoam, was employed to investigate sediment transport and scour around solid and porous hydraulic structures, specifically focusing on the differences induced by structural porosity.
