The existence of a pier in the river flow causes changes in river flow patterns. Changes in the flow pattern will result in local scouring around the pier. This study aims to determine the effect of the shape of the pier on the potential for local scour that occurs around the pier, and the flow characteristics around the pier. This studymodelled the existing conditions of the Ciujung Bridge, where the Ciujung Bridge uses an oblong pier shape, and the shape will be replaced with a lenticular model pier. FLOW-3D (CFD) software will be used to modelled flow characteristics and the depth of scour that occurs.Read More
