Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue explores the latest innovations and applications of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and modeling within the field of hydraulic engineering. CFD technology is essential for solving complex fluid flow problems and is a key tool for understanding fluid dynamics and interactions in hydraulic engineering. This Special Issue will cover the latest CFD techniques, modeling approaches, and practical applications in hydraulic engineering problems.
Objectives:
- To analyze the latest developments in CFD and modeling within hydraulic engineering;
- To present case studies showcasing new CFD techniques and modeling methods;
- To evaluate the effectiveness of CFD in solving hydraulic engineering problems and suggest future research directions.
Topics of Interest:
- Recent advancements in CFD techniques applied to hydraulic engineering;
- Modeling approaches for multiphase fluid flows;
- Fluid dynamic analysis of hydraulic structures;
- Flood prediction and management using CFD;
- Numerical modeling of complex river and channel flows;
- Coastal engineering applications of CFD, such as wave–structure interactions and coastal erosion modeling.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
