Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book advances the scientific debate on coastal scour by investigating ways to increase the accuracy of scour prediction in small-scale movable-bed physical models, using data from a prototype-scale scour event to validate the models. It focuses on scour mechanisms induced by turb…ulence-dominated processes, which occur over relatively short periods, such as during severe storm events. The author examines different scaling relationships to establish suitable modeling criteria and explores the relative effect of scaling parameters on laboratory results, arriving at a validated set of modeling criteria and constraints. This enables future efforts to focus on systematic laboratory investigation of scour phenomena and the development of engineering tools for scour prediction under a variety of environmental conditions. The book will be of interest to coastal engineers, researchers, and professionals involved in the design and maintenance of coastal structures.
