To protect structures from scour, fundamental mechanisms of scour must be fully understood, and many studies have been conducted to understand how the scour happens and develops. Some protection techniques have also been developed and implemented. However, the scour protection designs are often either overly conservative or unsafe, especially when structures are geometrically complex. Comprehensive studies on scour through advanced experimental and numerical studies are necessary.

This special issue aims to publish articles that highlight the innovative research on scour and sedimentation.
