Hi Chris Goodell,
I am a hydraulic/drainage engineer. Since I don’t have much experience in scour estimation project, I would like to ask some questions :
1. Why in the bridge scour depth estimation/analysis it doesn’t have time/duration parameter ?
2. Once I have ever estimated in my case study that the scour depth estimation result is about 3 m depth, will it occur just in few minutes or couple of hours or any time scale ? Since what I have known, once the bed material mobilized,it should requires time to achieve 3 m depth of hole. I just want to have a logical sense in this case.
Thank you so much Chris.
Best Regards,
Roy-
