Boundary shear stress in open channel flow: A comparison among six methods
Six methods for the computation of the boundary shear stress distribution, and the mean bed and wall shear stresses in prismatic open channel flows are compared against laboratory data. The comparisons indicate that the widely used Vertical Depth...
Evaluation of Harmony Search Optimization to Predict Local Scour Depth around Complex Bridge Piers
One of the main causes of bridge collapse may be flood flow scour near piers. Several experimental and local field investigations were carried out to study scour depth. However, existing empirical equations do not commonly ...
Local Scour Depth Estimation around Complex Bridge Pier
on dimensional analysis and data correlation of laboratory experiments which do not always produce reasonable results for field conditions. Hence, they mostly give conservative results. This study assembled 750 laboratory data around complex bridge pier...
