investigation on local scour phenomenon downstream of impinging jets is very complicated. different parameters such as geometry of stream, characteristics of flow and sediments have great influences on the scour phenomenon. the present study is preceded to numerical modeling of scouring by impinging jet via ssiim 2 model founded on a physical model tests. the numerical model is calibrated for r...

Estimating maximum scour depth is normally required in order to determine the depth of  bridge piles. The present paper uses the SSIIM Software which considers flow and sediment equations in a three dimensional manner. The software models flow field around circular bridge pile by resolving Navier-Stokes three-dimensional equations and k-  method, and by temporary solution of flow field and cont...

Incubating salmonid eggs in streambeds are often threatened by deposition of fine sediment within the gravel. To relate sedimentation of spawning gravel beds to sediment transport, infiltration of fine sediment (<2 mm in diameter) into clean gravel beds, bed material size distributions, scour-fill depths, and sediment transport during 10 storm flow events were measured in three streams of north...

Scour is a significant cause of bridge failure, and resulting closures are likely to generate disruption infrastructure networks. The management scour-susceptible bridges challenge for improving transport resilience, but tends be heuristic qualitative. Such assessments often suffer from insufficient knowledge key factors require assumptions, which may increase their estimation relative uncertai...

Downfall flows from different outlet hydraulic structures such as culverts and jetsthrowingtothe erodible downstream bed cause scour hole and changes in the downstream bed topography. Therefore,by performing some physical modeling tests on culvert jet flow under different angles, changes in the downstream bed topography under the effect of different parameters such as flow rate, depth of the ta...

rade control structures are used to control bed erosion in steep small rivers mostly in the mountains. Scour downstream of this structure can lead to failure. Over the past years, the effect of different variables on this phenomena have been studied, however the effect of upward seepage which is common due to head difference of the banks water table or water surface level between the upstream a...

Restoration of sustainable geomorphic processes that create floodplain topography through development of sand-splay complexes at intentional breaches is one method to promote variability in physical structure needed for habitat restoration. The topography of splay complexes provides a range of floodplain elevations that creates local variability in (i) inundation duration and frequency and dept...

One of the important issues in hydraulic engineering is inspection of local scour depth around bridge pier. Using piles is one of the ways for confronting local scour and erosion. In this study, the experiments were conducted in an 8m long, 0.5m deep and 0.25m wide flume. And the effectof using piles and number of them observed on the amount of scour in three different Frude numbers. The shape ...
