Scour depth 1

[derecha1]

Is there anyone who understands scour depth and how I might find out some specific information related to it, how to compute, determine, etc.(Specifically related to scour below spillways)

Also, HEC-RAS software has a routine to estimate scour depth at bridge approaches, if that is what you are after.
