Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We encourage you to submit papers to an important Special Issue of Water focused on the application of Lattice Boltzmann (LBM) and Discrete Boltzmann (DBM) methods to free surface flows. Both LBM and DBM are nowadays consolidated and efficient computational methods, based on the kinetic theory of Boltzmann, which allow the simulation of a broad variety of fluid flows. Among them, free surface flows occur extensively in the environmental hydraulics. Based on the prevailing spatial scales, they can be modelled as fully 3D or as shallow flows. The former approach allows for the investigation of small scale phenomena, while the latter can give important technical information over large domains.
Papers for this Special Issue should be aimed at showing the versatility and the broad variety of the applicability of LBM and DBM in the free surface fluid dynamics. Additionally, papers can be addressed at advanced free surface flows simulations as advection-diffusion of contaminants in water bodies, multi-layered shallow water flows, shallow granular flows, buoyancy driven flows, etc. Case studies are suitable but must substantively contribute to a broader understanding of this topic.

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.
