In order to explore the potential application of flexible flow deflector in engineering, experiments were conducted to study the countermeasures against bridge pier protection. A three-deflector structure was proposed to improve the efficiency of reducing scouring depth at bridge piers, including one body and two wings. The performance of the proposed three-deflector structure was subjected to some preliminary laboratory tests, and satisfactory results were obtained.
