Scour

Scour is a hydrodynamic erosion process characterized by the localized removal of sediment or seabed material around marine or hydraulic structures due to accelerated water flows, distinguished from general erosion by its intensity and spatial confinement near structural foundations in coastal, port, riverine, and offshore energy environments.
