Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The fluvial hydraulics and river morphodynamics represent challenging issues for hydraulic engineers. The advancements in experimental and measuring devices have received tremendous support, both in the laboratory and on the field, for measurement, observation, and prediction purposes. They include various invasive and non-invasive laboratory and field devices, such as doppler velocimetry, image velocimetry, optical-based measurements, time domain reflectometry, and others. In addition, remote sensing imagery augmented with GIS allows morphological changes in the river, as well as coastal dynamics, to be observed.
This Special Issue focusses on the augmentation of the state-of-the-art knowledge of the recent studies. The scope includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- River morphological studies;
- Scour structures such as bridge piers, abutments, weirs/barrages, drop structures, and flow-like jets;
- The design and implementation of scour countermeasures;
- Coherent structure measurements using ADV, LDV, PIV, HSPIV, optical measurements, and others in turbulent flow around the hydraulic structures;
- Field measurements using image analysis;
- Bedload and suspended load studies in the river;
- The application of numerical models such as LES, DNS, and various open sources;
- The application of RS and GIS.
You are cordially invited to contribute to this Special Issue.

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.
