Geotechnics and Geostructures Modelling for Hydrodynamic-Driven Landslides: Prediction and Control
This special issue belongs to the section “Soil and Water“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrodynamic-driven landslides, induced by seepage forces from rainfall or reservoir water level fluctuations, have emerged as a prominent area of geohazard research. The function of water within the landslide mass is highly significant. Consequently, attaining high-precision predictions and the efficient control of landslides necessitates an extensive knowledge of water within the landslide. For this purpose, this Special Issue provides a platform for the publication of advancements focused on numerical simulation, mechanical analysis, and constitutive development related to hydrodynamic-driven landslide processes. Meanwhile, we welcome the use of advanced monitoring technologies and artificial intelligence methods to conduct research on the prediction and prevention of hydrodynamic-driven landslides.
We anticipate that this Special Issue will encompass a diverse and high-quality collection of articles that can contribute to the knowledge and scientific progress in this field. By sharing innovative research and methodologies, we aim to enhance the understanding of hydrodynamic-driven landslides and improve the effectiveness of landslide risk management strategies.

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. 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.
