CFD Modelling of Turbulent Free Surface Flows

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of the journal Water on the topic of “CFD Modelling of Turbulent Free Surface Flows”. We invite submissions related to numerical studies.

Computation of free surfaces is very complex because of the continuous change in the location of fluid particles. This Special Edition entitled “CFD Modelling of Free Surface Flows” aims to highlight research on improvements in special methods developed for the computation of free surface flows.

Although the Modelling of Turbulent Free Surface Flows has been an extensively studied issue for a very long time and many answers have been found, a huge number of problems are still open, and a number of new interesting numerical techniques are constantly emerging contributing to ever-more accurately simulating Turbulent Free Surface Flows.

This can include research studies on the capillary and wetting phenomena in free surface flows, geophysical free surface flows (rivers, lakes, glaciers, and ocean), hydraulic jumps, diffraction of water waves induced by fluid structure interaction, sloshing dynamics and vortical structures.

This Special Issue aims to gather original research, review, and state-of-the-art articles focused on modelling the free surface flows following numerical approaches.

I hope that you will consider this invitation and look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

We believe that it would be very helpful for the community to find new common ground to improve collaborations.

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.
