Abstract: High-velocity plunging jets, issuing from flood release structures of dams, may result in scour of the rocky riverbed and damage to the dam foundation. Assessment of the scour extent is essential to ensure the safety of the dam and appurtenant structures, as well as to guarantee the stability of its abutments.
