”Cheng Kung Artificial Waterweeds (CKAW)” are adopted to reduce riverbed girdle scouring in this paper. Experiments were carried out in a circular flume to study the effect of protection against scouring with CKAW. We selected a 3% of the initial bed slope with movable sand. Protection efficiency of CKAW (PE) was defined as (The equation is abbreviated) to express the degree of protection; where 8.3 is the maximum scour depth without CKAW, and d(subscript sc) is the maximum scour depth with CKAW. The PE varied with the length of CKAW (L). From the results of the experiments, the PE was more notable as the CKAW's length became longer. The PE in the outer bank is higher than that in the inner bank in the circular channel. The PE is quickly increased while the length of CKAW is over the region of the scour hole, and it reaches as high as 94% in l=4L(subscript d), where L(subscript d) is the distance from the position of the maximum scour to the riverbed girdle. It shows that CKAW may provide excellent protection against riverbed girdle scouring.
