SCOUR PREVENTING APPARATUS FOR HYDRAULIC STRUCTURES
Disclosed are several practical refinements, extensions, additions, and improvements to the manufactured three-dimensional continuous convex-concave fairing with attached vortex generators. The piecewise continuously varying slope and curvature fairings provide manufacturing cost reductions, as well as cost reductions by reducing the frequency and complexity of monitoring practices for bridges and elimination of temporary fixes that require costly annual or periodic engineering studies and construction to mitigate scour on at-risk bridges. The probability of bridge failure and its associated liability to the public is totally avoided since the root cause of local scour is prevented.
