ABSTRACT
In this paper both numerical and experimental investigations of local scour downstream of a sill followed by a rigid apron are presented. Nine laboratory
experiments were carried out in clear water scour conditions, with different values of discharge. At the end of each run, velocity measurements both
on the apron and on the scour hole were performed by ultrasonic Doppler velocimetry. A mathematical-numerical model was developed, simulating

local scour downstream of a sill followed by an apron. The model uses information related both to the measured velocity fields and to the physical and
mechanical properties of the sand constituting the mobile bed. The mathematical structure of the model consists of a second order partial differential
parabolic equation whose unknown is the shape of the mobile bed. The numerical integration of this nonlinear equation, with suitable boundary
conditions, is in agreement with the measured scour profiles at the end of the run. Upon comparing experimental and numerical data, a similar
temporal evolution of the maximum scour depth is observed.
RÉSUMÉ
Cet article présente des recherches numériques et expérimentales sur l’affouillement local en aval d’un seuil prolongé par un tablier rigide. Neuf
expériences de laboratoire ont été effectuées en eaux claires, avec des débits différents. À la fin de chaque essai, des mesures de vitesse sur le
tablier et sur le trou affouillé ont été exécutées par vélocimétrie Doppler ultrasonique. Un modèle mathématique numérique a été développé, simulant
l’affouillement local en aval d’un seuil prolongé par un tablier. Le modèle utilise à la fois l’information des champs de vitesses mesurées et les
propriétés physiques et mécaniques du sable constituant le lit mobile. La structure mathématique du modèle se compose d’une équation parabolique
aux dérivées partielles du second ordre dont l’inconnue est la forme du lit mobile. L’intégration numérique de cette équation non-linéaire, avec des
conditions aux limites appropriées, est en accord avec les profils d’affouillement mesurés après les essais. La comparaison des données numériques
et expérimentales, montre une évolution temporelle semblable de la profondeur maximum d’affouillement

From Eq. (10) the condition of absence of solid transport at
