Abstract: Some properties of the exponential expression for time evolution in local scour processes are presented in this work. Using the exponential expression, it is shown that it may not be possible to find an equilibrium scour depth in the case of “short” tests, in spite of a good fitting of the data. The results are supported with real data.
