The use of free launch jets in flip bucket structures with associated submerged ponds, in the appropriate geological, and topographic and hydraulic conditions, could have significant economic and safety benefits. In this research, the downstream scour phenomenon of a flip bucket jet was investigated in free conditions, as well as in the presence of a trapezoidal and triangular slot in the coastal manner with different layout intervals at flow rate of 9, with a total of 45 experiments. The results of this study showed that the presence of the slot had significant effects on the depth and range of scour, so that the fit bucket jet with alternate triangular slots reduced the scour by about 12.7%, as compared to the no slot mode. Moreover, the maximum scour depth occurred in the bucket mode with the alternate trapezoidal slots in the more favorable interval than the rest of the models. Then, the results were compared with several empirical formulas and Veronese A relation showed closer results to the actual values.
