Sediment Transport Modeling

Dear Colleagues,

The re-suspension, transport and deposition of sediment in the coastal ocean plays an important role in many issues such as coastal stability, dredging management, pollutant transport, and biological productivity, by influencing the water column light climate. In recent years there have been numerous efforts to improve parameterizations and applications of coastal sediment transport models including the use of three-dimensional models and the inclusion of feed-back loops in morphological models. These include studies of sediment transport in a variety of coastal environments from estuaries and from the beachface to the shelf break. This Special Issue will provide a compilation of the state of coastal sediment transport models and their applications. Papers are invited that deal with sediment transport models (both cohesive and non-cohesive) in the following area:

• Estuaries
• Swash zone
• Surf zone
• Coastal morphological change
• Continental shelves

This Special Issue is launched to provide a compilation of current state of the art and future perspectives in numerical modeling of sediment transport in coastal seas, nearshore and in estuarine systems.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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 2600 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.
