The present study was oriented in this direction and it pertained to the problem of scour depth prediction for ski-jump type of spillways.
The challenging problems of arctic pipelines include ice scour, strudel scour, frost heave, thaw settlement, and upheaval buckling compared with the normal pipelines.
Whether the engineering problem at hand is to mitigate risk for a bridge at a fixed location, optimal placement of a new bridge to minimize scour risk within design constraints, or best placing an unavoidable encroachment when flexibility exists, understanding the sensitivity of scour to floodplain access at different locations both up and downstream of the bridge (existing or proposed) is key.
The scour gradient was earlier defined as the rate of change of scour with respect to changes in floodplain access at specific locations along the channel.
The extent of slippage is determined by the shape of scour hole.
With the increase of gap size βH, the intensity of scour beneath the fence reduces slightly but the scouring range increases significantly.
Having entered prison as an atheist with a moral-relativist bent, Genis next took up the problem of good and evil, scouring Pascal, Rousseau, Schopenhauer, "Crime and Punishment," and Knut Hamsun's "Hunger".
After 18 months of scouring the state for voting fraudsters and spending $150,000 in tax money, absolutely no serious problems were uncovered.
Undulating width of scours is interpreted as an effect of rotation of the iceberg keel during scour excavation.
Global warming has increased the rate of scouring by icebergs, and this species is particularly adept at recolonizing scoured areas.
