Abstract: This paper presents the results of an exploratory study on the development of clear-water scour near a simple groyne-like structure. The growth of the maximum depth of scour with time has been found to be similar. Further, the characteristics of the scour hole in the end state have also been found to be similar. Some simple correlations have also been developed for predicting the maximum depth of clear-water scour in the end state for a narrow range of the relative width parameter.
