The present investigation consists on a series of 5 experiments conducted to study the influence of groyne permeability on the local scour at the groyne tip in addition to the influence of this permeability on the flow velocity in banks. One permeable groyne, whose length (perpendicular to the flow direction) was 0.51 m (1.67 ft.) and whose width was 0.261 m (0.857 ft) was placed on the right side of a rectangular channel. Groynes were made up of cylindrical wood pieces that represented tree trunks. They were interlocked to form a rectangular prism that was a scaled down Engineered Log Jam (ELJ) groyne. Permeabilities of these structures ranged from 28% to 51%. Tests were carried out in a 12 m (39.4 ft) long flume whose inner width was 1.9 m (6.23 ft). Maximum discharge was 155 L/s. Initial bed slope was 0.0008 m/m. The streambed was composed by sand whose average diameter, D50, was 0.204 mm. An Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) was used to measure and map 3D velocities at selected cross sections and around the groyne. A 3D laser scanner was used to capture bed topography before and after the tests. As a result of the experiments it was observed that local scour at the groyne tip decreases when groyne permeability increases. ELJ groyne permeabilities were 28%, 36%, 42.5%, 45.5% and 51%. For these permeabilities local maximum local scour, recorded at the groyne tip were 0.225 m, 0.092 m, 0.090 m, 0.088 m and 0.087 m, respectively. A practical lower limit for maximum local scour was found when the groyne permeability was between 42.5 and 51% while the optimum permeability for speed control at both the tip and bank groyne was between 45.5 and 51%. In the practical a 45.5% permeability of ELJ groyne may be included as a design criterion when local scour is reduced in an erosion control project.
