This important factor will be calculated by using Empirical equations which&amp;nbsp; have been proposed by researchers, however, since most of the equations are empirical but it may not always be&amp;nbsp; a good accuracy, therefore, in this article we want to calculate the maximum scour depth and factors &amp;nbsp;which are affecting this phenomenon &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;by using numerical models of SSIIM.&lt;/p&gt;
