The paper studies theoretical and experimental issues of improving scour protection facilities of oil trunk line underwater passages. External influences on the stability of oil trunk line underwater passages were analyzed. Based on the analysis results, the impact of hydraulic processes on riverbed deformations in the underwater passage of the Surgut-Polotsk oil trunk line was evaluated. Also automated calculations of hydraulic and riverbed effects of the bottom soil scour in the Mathcad application environment w...

We studied a scour in a drainage canal of the Cheboksary hydrosystem tailrace on the Volga river. To protect the hydrosystem tailrace from scouring, we proposed flexible stream-guiding grids that are installed in the stream and effectively affect its kinematics in the bottom area. We calculated in MathCad a system of vortices that occur when the flow runs against adjacent plates of a grid. Due to the replacement of flexible elements of a grid with flat plates that divide the flow into separate jets, it became poss...
