Once the program finishes all of the computations success-

fully, the output file is created automatically. The output file
includes the following columns: time, flow velocity, water 0.5
depth, shear stress, maximum scour depth (pier, contraction, or 0
total), and instantaneous scour depth (pier, contraction, or 19601963196619681971197419771980198319851988199119941997

are shown in Table 9.2. For this example, the critical shear
stress was 4 N/m2; as can be seen, no scour occurred until the Scour Depth Vs Time

velocity was high enough to overcome the critical shear stress
on day 11. The format of the output file is a text file. This file 6000

commonly plotted curves are water velocity versus time, water 4000
