Abstract

Scour in a flow field affected by waves, such as river estuaries or shallow waters, is more difficult to predict than scour in a currents. The main issue in predicting the scour around circular files, such as undersea bridges, is the maximum scour depth and the point of occurrence. In the case of two or more adjacent circular piles, the location and depth of maximum scour according to the spacing between piles and the arrangement method show a lot of difference compared to the case of a single pile. In this paper, the KC number are calculated as dimensionless variables representing the strength of the flow. And the correlation between pile gap size and relative scour depth was analyzed.
