This book examines the digitalization of rock scour engineering at dams and hydraulic structures. It outlines the current digitalization (technologies, applications, issues) in rock engineering, as well as the digital evolution that has strongly characterized the development of computational methods in state-of-the-art rock scour over recent years. The challenges of rock scour digitalization are also discussed, such as parametric standardization, real-time data acquisition, data analysis and interpretation, quantitative rock mass indices, new ways of thinking and digital twin implementation. Further, it presents the major components and characteristics that are needed to develop an environment that implements rock scour digitally into dam safety procedures and dam risk analyses, such as IT platforms, database availability, topology, physics, computational methods, phase coupling, accessibility, portability, reliability, real-time and ahead-of-time implementations and more.
Features:
- Provides an overview of physics-based computational methods that have been developed by the engineering community over the last 20 years, which can easily be implemented digitally into cloud-based platforms.
- Offers examples of the next-generation computational environment, combining both real-time computational power and an up-to-date scour database allowing new parametric refinements.
- Includes several case studies of real-life rock scour.
- Presents the latest Digital Twin developments, which are novel and new to dam operations.

About the Author
Erik F. R. Bollaert is President of AquaVision Engineering Llc, a company specialized in rock scour engineering and hydraulics of dams and spillways. He holds a MSc in Civil Engineering since 1996 and a PhD degree in hydraulics and rock mechanics from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne since 2001.
He is an internationally known expert in scour and erosion problems downstream of dams and appurtenant structures and has been involved in many scour problems related to dam spillways worldwide.
He is the developer of the Comprehensive Scour Model, comprising several physics-based computational methods for rock mass fracturing and rock block uplift, and used to design scour mitigation measures at the iconic scour hole of Kariba Dam in Zambia-Zimbabwe.
Dr Bollaert co-organized the "International Workshop on Rock Scour" in Lausanne (EPFL) in 2001. He authored close to 100 scientific papers on the topic and is co-editor of the book Rock Scour due to Falling High-Velocity Jets, published in 2002 (Swets & Zeitlinger, The Netherlands). His work has been incorporated into several international guidelines, among others those of the US Society on Dams, the US Federal Highway Administration and the American Society of Civil Engineers.
Dr Bollaert is the developer of the rocsc@r® environment and its related digital platforms allowing advanced comparative scour computations, database storage and digital twin developments for rock scour.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to THE SAINT BOOKSTORE, Southport, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
Shipping terms
