Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue “Hydrology and Hydrodynamics Characteristics in Coastal Area” seeks to bring together cutting-edge research on the behavior of water and related processes at the land–sea interface. Coastal zones present unique challenges such as strong tides, complex bathymetry, sediment transport, and human interventions that demand both innovative theoretical approaches and robust practical solutions. We welcome contributions that advance our understanding of hydrodynamic and hydrologic phenomena, improve predictive modeling, and develop novel experimental techniques. We welcome original research and review papers addressing, but not limited to, the following topics:
- New methods and models for the numerical simulation of hydrodynamics in coastal and estuarine systems;
- New methods and models for the numerical simulation of hydrology, particularly in coastal catchments and lowland watersheds;
- Innovative experimental methods and instrumentation for investigating hydrodynamic processes in coastal zones;
- Studies on cavitation, vortex dynamics, and multiphase flows in hydraulic machinery relevant to coastal or estuarine applications;
- Exploration and modeling of hydropower, tidal energy, and ocean energy systems, with emphasis on their interaction with coastal hydrodynamics.
We encourage contributions that bridge theory and practice; integrate field data, modeling, and review studies; and explore interdisciplinary approaches to the challenges of coastal hydrology and hydraulics.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Water 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.
