Abstract: This extended abstract presents preliminary results from an ongoing series of laboratory experiments investigating how the geometry of propeller-induced scours near quay walls depends on wall-roughness characteristics. The experiments are conducted over a granular sediment bed using a free Wageningen propeller and different wall configurations (smooth glass walls and sheet pile walls with different orientations). Differences in scour geometry are evaluated under comparable propeller rotational speeds, wall distances, and bed-clearance conditions. The preliminary results indicate variations in scour geometry associated with wall roughness, and the final results will be presented at the conference.
