In this study, the effect of grain size on the dynamics of local scour processes is discussed in the context of the erosion that takes place downstream from a submerged sluice gate. Four gradations of non-cohesive bed material were used to study the scour process for various tailwater depth and flow rate conditions. The sand gradations included three sizes of uniformly graded sand and a fourth size, which was obtained by mixing the three uniform sands in equal proportions by weight. A total of 36 tests was carried out, each for a period of 24 h. An equilibrium scour condition was not attained over this time period for any of the tests, although a sense of similarity in the bed profiles is observed in the region close to the sluice gate. The present results indicate that the depth and the area of scour are highly dependent on the bed grain size, both increasing as the grain size is reduced. As well, it was found that the tests with a mixed (i.e., graded) sand bed resulted in less scour relative to those in...
