The main focus of this Special Issue of Water is the state-of-the-art and recent research on turbulence and flow–sediment interactions in open-channel flows. Our knowledge of river hydraulics is deepening, thanks to both laboratory/field experiments related to the characteristics of turbulence and their link to erosion, transport, deposition, and local scouring phenomena. Collaboration among engineers, physicists, and other experts is increasing and furnishing new inter-/multidisciplinary perspectives to the research of river hydraulics and fluid mechanics. At the same time, the development of both sophisticated laboratory instrumentation and computing skills is giving rise to excellent experimental–numerical comparative studies. Thus, this Special Issue, with ten papers by researchers from many institutions around the world, aims at offering a modern panoramic view on all the above aspects to the vast audience of river researchers.

This book presents fourteen state-of-the-art research papers prepared by research scientists and engineers around the world. They explore the subject of scour related to bridge piers, monopiles, propellers, turbines, weirs, dams, grade-control structures, and pipelines. Their works are based on three different research methodologies, namely experimental, numerical, and field approaches.

Technology: general issues --- seabed scour --- tidal current turbine --- ocean renewable energy --- ship twin-propeller --- jet --- scour --- 3D printing --- visible light communication system --- offshore wind turbine foundation --- early warning monitoring --- life cycle --- cylindrical pier --- local scour --- anti-scour collar --- bridge --- experiment --- scour protection --- scour development --- optimal design --- complex bridge pier --- pier-pier proximity --- temporal evolution --- equilibrium scour pattern --- bed-form migration --- scour predictor evaluation --- propeller jet --- confined propeller scour --- energy spectra --- turbulence --- vortex system --- downward seepage --- pier --- turbulent statistics --- bridge foundations --- supercritical flows --- sediment hydraulics --- two-phase flow --- pipeline --- numerical modeling --- turbulence modeling --- sediment transport --- clear-water scour --- submerged weir --- temporal development --- bed morphology --- bridge scour --- general scour --- grade control --- dredging --- reservoir sedimentation --- replenishment --- cohesive sediment --- horseshoe vortex --- pile scour --- waves and currents --- computational fluid dynamics --- REEF3D --- scour and erosion --- time scale of local scour --- blockage ratio --- research approaches
