Abstract: Presently available formulas for estimating the maximum depth of scour near bridge piers often lead to unreliable results. A fully three-dimensional hydrodynamic model is therefore used in this study to simulate the flow ...

Abstract: The commercial computational fluid dynamics model FLOW-3D (Flow Science, Inc., Santa Fe, N.M.) is used to simulate two-dimensional wave transformation and breaking across a naturally barred beach profile. Fine scale pressures ...
