The role of scour in shipwreck site formation processes and the preservation of wreck-associated scour signatures in the sedimentary record – evidence from seabed and sub-surface data
TLDR
The morphology of resultant scour signatures are controlled by the orientation of the wreck structure in relation to the prevailing hydrodynamic regime, the morphology and size of the ship and individual site components, the hydrodynamical regime (currents, waves or combined waves and currents), bathymetry and the geology of the site (seafloor and sub-surface conditions) as mentioned in this paper.About:

The horseshoe vortex and vortex shedding around a vertical wall-mounted cylinder exposed to waves
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the cross-sectional shape of the pile on the horseshoe vortex was investigated, showing that a square pile with 90° orientation produces the largest vortex and a circular pile with 45° orientation the smallest vortex.
