online_contraction_scour_clear_water:  Contraction scour under clear water conditions
using Laursen equation 1963

      
Laursen formula 1963


ys / yo = {[( Ku Q 2 ) / ( Dm0.667W 2)] 0.429 (1/yo)}  -  1

[ ys, yo, Q, Dm and W in any consistent units ]
[ Ku = 0.025 in SI units; Ku = 0.0077 in U.S. units ]
