Abstract
A tidal bore is a hydrodynamic shock, surging upstream in some shallow-water bays and estuaries during the flood tide under large tidal range. This study investigates experimentally the propagation of tidal bores over a large cylindrical roughness element, representative of damaged bridge pier foundation. In the initially steady flow, the large cylindrical element generated a wake region, with extents comparable to steady flow literature. During the tidal bore propagation, the presence of the element had negligible effect on the free-surface properties, but a significant impact in terms of the instantaneous velocity and Reynolds stresses. This resulted in longer transient recirculation both upstream and downstream of the element and larger maximum velocity recirculation magnitudes, as well as enhanced turbulent stress levels and potential bed erosion around the large element, within two diameters from the element centre. The results showed the potential development of a large scour hole around the cylindrical element.
