Figure 6.9: Development of the line bend in the first scour (test B1d on top and B2d at the bottom)<br />

Without macro-roughness, the line bend starts at about 10° at a distance around 20% of the channel<br />

width from the outer bank to finally disappear between 50% and 80% from the outer bank. In<br />

the maximum scour cross-section, the line bend is attenuated and the profile becomes s-shaped.<br />

The same process can be observed for the second scour. At 55° the bed has flattened again partially<br />

(between the two scour holes). Downstream this point (70°), up to the end of the bend, the<br />

development of the line bend can be observed a second time.<br />

Figure 6.10: Scheme of the development of the line bend<br />

This process can be explained in a schematic way with the development of the secondary current<br />

(Figure 6.10). Between 10° and the first maximum scour, the secondary current grows (the inclination<br />

of the radial water surface slope also increases slightly which is exaggerated on the schematic<br />

view) and leads progressively to a more pronounced scour hole. At the final state, the shape of the<br />

scour hole is more s-shaped. This can be explained by the fact that the main secondary current<br />

does not “attack” the bed at the outer wall anymore, shifts towards the center, but remaining in<br />

the outer half of the channel.<br />
