MODELLING OF LOCAL SCOUR IN ENERGY DISSIPATION SYSTEM

The scour process downstream of hydraulic structures is one of the primary factors
that must be identified and controlled to avoid the structural collapse or material
failure. This research presents prediction models for the local scours that occur due to
medium and high discharges from an outflow structure near stilling basin. This
research employs statistical approach in order to predict local scour as majority ofthe
prediction models are based on deterministic equations.
