Laboratory data for local scour depth regarding the size of wide piers are presented. Clear water scour tests were performed for various pier widths (0.06, 0.076, 0.102, 0.14 and 0.165 m), two types of pier shapes (circular and rectangular) and two types of uniform cohesionless bed sediment (d50 = 0.23 and d50 = 0.80 mm). New data are presented and used to demonstrate the effects of pier width, pier shape and sediment size on scour depth. The influence of equilibrium time (te) on scouring processes is also discussed. Equilibrium scour depths were found to decrease with increasing values of b/d50. The temporal development of equilibrium local scour depth with new laboratory data is demonstrated for flow intensity V/Vc = 0.95. On the other hand, the results of scour mechanism have shown a significant relationship between normalized volume of scoured and deposited with pier width, b. The experimental data obtained in this study and data available from the literature for wide piers are used to evaluate predictions of existing methods.

The performance of vertical triple plates as a new countermeasure in control of local scour around a cylindrical model pier is studied. Two ones of the plates are attached to the side wall one of the pier at one pier diameter distance, extending toward upstream distance and the third one is located in the middle, attached to the pier nose. All the three plates are parallel to flow direction. Experiments are conducted for five different depths of flow and two different lengths of the lateral plates, namely 8 and 14 cm. all the runs are performed under the clear water flow over uniform sediment. The results showed a maximum efficiency of 76% in scour reduction for 8 cm long side plates and 85% for 14 cm long ones.it is also found that the proposed setup act simultaneously as both the bed armoring and flow altering countermeasure.

Abstract The effect of Reynolds number (Re) on the local scour around a monopile encountering steady current was investigated experimentally in a water flume. The experiment was performed using circular cylinders with different diameters under two different freestream velocities, covering both clear-water and live-bed scours and a Reynolds number range of approximately 9,000–60,000. The time-series of the scour depth was recorded during the whole scour process and the scour pit was scanned after the scour process reached equilibrium. Results are presented in terms of the equilibrium scour depth, the time-scale of the scour process and the three-dimensional scour profile at different Reynolds numbers. For both clear-water and live-bed scours, the time history of the scour process indicate that the time-scale becomes larger as Re increases. It is also found that the normalized equilibrium scour depth, as well as the normalized scour radius, decrease with the increasing Re. An empirical equation of the equilibrium scour depth is derived as a function of Reynolds number based on the experimental results so as to better account for Re effect in the scour design.
