Summary and conclusions<br />

The location of the scour holes (without macro-roughness) can be computed with the following equations:<br />

For the second scour, a slightly better correlation can be obtained, but with a much more complicated<br />

equation (7.56) which is quite sensitive to the choice of the used parameters.<br />

The equations for the two scour locations illustrate that the two scour holes do not depend on the<br />

same parameters. The first scour depends e.g. on σ , but not the second one.<br />
