The University of Iowa received a $508,573 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CFDA 47.041 – Engineering program) awarded May 1, 2026, with completion targeted for April 30, 2029. This research initiative addresses bridge infrastructure resilience by investigating the effects of flow blockage on local scour around bridge piers in laboratory flume experiments. The project will deliver experimental data, physics-based methodologies, and correction factors for scaling laboratory observations to full-scale pier conditions, utilizing time-resolved particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements, numerical simulations, and evaluations of blockage ratios across multiple bluff body geometries. The core deliverables include quantified relationships between flow blockage ratios and scour mechanics, validated correction methodologies to account for laboratory flume constraints, and enhanced predictive models for full-scale scour erosion around bridge-supporting structures. Research outputs will inform improved bridge design standards and construction practices that enhance structural safety and resilience of existing U.S. bridge infrastructure while supporting the design of future similar structures. The work will generate insights into large-scale turbulent flow physics, coherent vortex structures, and sediment transport mechanisms critical to mitigating riverbed degradation risks at bridge sites.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
