Abstract
Seabed scouring is getting common worldwide and has become critical problems in recent years. This severe wash could undermine the foundation of berthing structure, which consequently leads to costly maintenance and remedial work. The study of velocity distributions within a complex ship's propeller jet is the initial step to investigate the scour effect. A ship's propeller jet generally comprises three velocity components including axial, tangential and radial components of velocity. Axial component of velocity has more significant scouring effect than the other two components. Malaysia located at one of the important maritime crossroads of the world. The ports in the country play a significant role as trade facilitators connecting individual country to the various parts of the world via sea. This paper presents the behavior of ship's propeller jet and a brief study on the Malaysian ports.
