Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled "Fluid-Structure Interaction in Civil Engineering", aims to highlight the latest advancements in the field of civil engineering, with a focus on innovative technologies and methods for fluid–structure interaction. This Special Issue features original research contributions from a diverse range of institutions and experts, covering the development and optimization of the fluid–structure interaction in civil engineering. In this context, fluid can be water, air, oil or any other substance capable of flowing, such as wind, currents, waves, floods, tides, tsunamis, liquid in a container, etc. Structures can comprise bridges, tunnels, roads, buildings, railways, highways, aqueducts or other infrastructure. Research methods can constitute theoretical deduction, numerical simulation, physical experiments, site observation, etc. Key topics include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) calculation methods of loads caused by fluids, such as calculation methods of wind load, wave load, flood load, hydrodynamic force, etc. (2) Interactions between fluids and structures. (3) Flow field analysis and generation mechanisms for exploring hydrodynamic force and structure failure. (4) Dynamic responses of structures under fluid action. (5) Damage modes or failure modes of structure under fluid actions. (6) Preventive measures or the optimum design of structures when considering the fluid–structure interaction.
This Special Issue not only explores new perspectives in theoretical research, numerical simulation, and physical experiments, but also focuses on cutting-edge developments of methods to solve fluid–structure interaction-induced problems to civil engineering in real practice. By showcasing researchers who are committed to pushing the boundaries of fluid–structure interaction, this Special Issue aims to foster innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration. Through this publication, we hope to inspire academia and industry to develop new strategies and technologies that contribute to a sustainable future, ultimately helping to reduce the fluid–structure interaction-induced problems found in civil engineering or to make fuller use of advantages brought by fluid–structure interaction to civil engineering.

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. Eng is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1400 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.
