Context
Erosion due to scouring processes around hydraulic structures is a very important topic in hydraulic engineering. Various studies have identified scouring phenomenon as a major cause for bridge failures [1] making its forecasting of outermost importance to assess bridge safety and resilience to extreme events. However, despite more than a century of active research its accurate prediction remains poor and its, modeling is still a major challenge for civil engineers. Large scale sediment transport models typically used in engineering fail to provide relevant results as they are unable to correctly capture the complex three dimensional flow around the obstacle. This emphasizes the need for new models able to represent the flow locally.
