Abstract: In most cases, the wave characteristics around a large circular cylinder were studied to calculate wave forces on the piles. In this paper, by analyzing wave characteristics with Mac Camy and Fuchs' diffraction theory, two relationships associated with the research of scour problem around a large circular cylinder are obtained. They will provide an essential theoretical basis for the study of scour around a large circular cylinder.
