    Abstract

    The present paper deals with the theoretical and numerical modeling of scouring and backfilling around an offshore monopile. Based on existing relations for the bed load and the bed update, and a new model for the sediment pickup, it demonstrates the possibility of computing the mean bed shear stress if the bed and bed update is estimated. The present concepts may be useful for developing methods for scour forecasting.
