online_scour_jainandfisher:  Calculation of local scour using Jain and Fisher's equation   

F = v /(gy)1/2

Vc = Ku y1/6D501/3

Fc = Vc /(gy)1/2

For clear-water scour (F - Fc ≤ 0.2):

ys = 1.84 a Fc0.25 (y /a)0.3

For live-bed scour (F - Fc > 0.2):

ys = 2 a (F - Fc)0.25 (y /a)0.5

[ SI Units (metric):  ys, y, a, in m, and D50 in mm; Ku = 6.19 ]
[ U.S. Customary Units:  ys, y, a, in ft, and D50 in mm; Ku = 11.17 ]
[ F = Froude number; g = gravitational acceleration ]
