Experimental and Numerical Simulation of Groundwater Flow and Solute Transport

Dear Colleagues,

With continuous population growth and the rapid development of industry and agriculture, the demand for groundwater is increasing day by day. In recent years, studies on simulation of seepage and solute transport have mainly involved hydraulic engineering, petroleum engineering, mining engineering, deep storage of nuclear waste, tunnel engineering, etc. Some environmental problems closely related to human life, such as seawater intrusion, oil pipeline leakage, chemical plant leakage, etc., are strongly tied to groundwater flow and contaminant migration. Therefore, it is very important to study the transportation of groundwater flow and solutes via experimental and numerical simulation. The research results can provide scientific basis for management and decision-making departments.

The objective of this Special Issue is to discuss and analyze the groundwater flow and contaminant transport patterns in porous, fractured and karst media; examine the problems of groundwater leakage, water resource evaluation, foundation pit dewatering, contaminant leakage, and the remediation of groundwater pollution; and to provide new theories, experiments, methods and techniques to solve these problems.

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-anonymized 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.
