ADVANCING BATHYMETRY AND STREAMFLOW SURVEY TO REAL-TIME SCOUR PREDICTION: AN AUTOMATED ALGORITHM
SBC: Genex Systems LLC Topic: 20FH3Most research on scour assessment has traditionally focused on developing best-fit or envelope equations to estimate the maximum scour depths from physical experiments in a laboratory environment. However, obtaining an accurate estimate is always a challenge due to numerous uncertainties in the actual riverine or coastal environment. With advances in new surveying technologies and growing computat ...
