Abstract
The aim of this study is to utilize accurate numerical simulations for predicting local scour around bridge
piers. The numerical model used in this study is Sediment Simulation In Intakes with Multiblock option “SSIIM”
where a k–ε and SIMPLE method was used to predict the turbulence and to compute the pressure around the
piers. The main objective is to check the validity of using a numerical model in predicting the local scour around a
bridge pier.
