Effect of viscosity on the equilibrium scour depth at single cylindrical piers

Most studies on scouring seem to have overlooked the effect of viscosity, the assumption being that the flow is free of viscous effects inside the scour hole because of the presence of highly turbulent flow structures such as down-flow, horseshoe vortex, and wake vortices irrespective of the approac...
