Water-jet-scouring technology finds extensive applications in various fields, including marine engineering. In this study, the pulse characteristics are introduced on the basis of jet-scouring research, and the sand-scouring characteristics of a pulsed jet under different Reynolds numbers and the impact distances are deeply investigated using Flow-3D v11.2. The primary emphasis is on the comprehensive analysis of the unsteady flow structure within the scouring process, the impulse characteristics, and the geometric properties of the resulting scouring pit. The results show that both the radius and depth of the scour pit show a good linear correlation with the jet-flow rate. The concentration of suspended sediment showed an increasing and then decreasing trend with impinging distance. The study not only helps to enrich the traditional theory of jet scouring, but also provides useful guidance for engineering applications, which have certain theoretical and practical significance.
