Effects of weir geometry on scour development in the downstream of Piano Key Weirs

Scouring in the downstream of all weirs, including Piano Key Weirs (PKWs), can have major safety implications. Since the research on downstream scouring of PKWs is very limited, and the weir geometry is also known to have an impact on downstream scouring, this study investigated scouring in the down...

Since the research on downstream scouring of PKWs is very limited, and the weir geometry is also known to have an impact on downstream scouring, this study investigated scouring in the downstream of PKWs with rectangular and trapezoidal geometries and two different heights.
