Viscosity effects on local scour around vertical structures in clear-water conditions
Local scour represents the erosion process that occurs at the base of hydraulic structures overlying sediment beds. Horseshoe vortices forming at the bed-structure junction are the main responsible for sediment removal and dictate erosion rates as well as the maximum erosion depth resulting from a s...
