State of the Art in Protection of Bottom Against Scour Caused by Marine Propulsors

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

The state of the art in the protection of the bottom near and the foundations of hydraulic structures from scour caused by marine propulsors is analyzed. The need to formulate recommendations on determining the parameters of the scouring action and engineering measures to protect the bottom against scour is identified.
