Calculation of abutment scour using the Froehlich (1989) design formula, Bavya Vuppalapati, San Diego State University

       online_scour_froehlich1989: Calculation of abutment scour using the Froehlich 1989 equation

Formula:

Fr = v /(gy_a)^1/2
(y_s / y_a) = 2.27 K₁ K₂ (L^' / y_a)^0.43 Fr ^0.61 + 1

[ SI Units (metric): y_s, y_a and L^' in m ]
[ U.S. Customary Units: y_s, y_a and L^' in ft ]
[ Fr = Froude number; g = gravitational acceleration ]
