This document defines symbols and abbreviations used for hydrodynamic and scour related calculations. It includes over 50 variables, mostly with units of measure, related to dimensions, velocities, forces, powers, coefficients, and other hydrodynamic and sediment transport parameters such as jet widths, water depths, grain sizes, and more. The variables are grouped by symbol and include a brief definition for each.
