Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The field of hydraulic engineering has witnessed significant advancements in recent years, driven by the growing demand for sustainable water management solutions and the challenges posed by climate change. This Special Issue on “Recent Advances in Hydraulic Engineering” aims to showcase the latest research and developments in the field, with a focus on innovative technologies, methods, and approaches that are shaping the future of hydraulic systems. The contributions in this Special Issue cover a broad spectrum of topics, including the design and optimization of hydraulic structures, flood management, sediment transport, and the integration of smart technologies in hydraulic engineering. By bringing together cutting-edge research and practical applications, this Special Issue provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of hydraulic engineering and highlights the key trends and future directions that are expected to influence the field. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and policymakers who are involved in the development and implementation of hydraulic systems aimed at improving water resource management and enhancing resilience to environmental changes.

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.

Investigating the creation of bed forms due to sediment transport and flow structure in the presence of bed forms in alluvial channels is a constant challenge for engineers and researchers, because of its complex nature. In this research, turbulent flow structure and turbulence anisotropy in the presence of two- and three-dimensional laboratory dunes were investigated. The results showed that, at the reattachment point, the turbulence anisotropy at the centerline of a three-dimensional dune was the largest. On the stoss slope, the turbulence anisotropy for two-dimensional dunes was at its highest at the bed form’s trough and below the crest. The results also demonstrated a tendency at the crest line toward the plane–strain limit for two-dimensional dunes and the centerline of three-dimensional dunes. However, at a 20 cm distance, turbulence anisotropy at the crest line tended toward asymmetric contraction to an oblate spheroid. Full article
