Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dams and geotechnical systems play a vital role in water resources management, energy production, flood protection, and infrastructure resilience. Ensuring their safety and long-term reliable performance under both normal and extreme loading conditions is therefore of critical importance. In particular, seepage processes and the complex interactions among fluids, soils, and structures significantly influence the mechanical behavior, stability, and durability of hydraulic and geotechnical systems. This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in safety evaluation and multi-physics interaction mechanisms in hydraulic and geotechnical engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Safety evaluation of hydraulic and geotechnical structures (e.g., dams, sluices, slopes, and foundations);
- Seismic analysis of hydraulic and geotechnical structures;
- Fluid–solid interaction, fluid–soil–structure interaction, and soil–structure interaction;
- Hydrodynamic effects and sloshing in liquid storage systems;
- Seepage behavior of geotechnical materials and structures;
- Rheology of fluids and non-Newtonian fluid behavior in porous media;
- Computational fluid dynamics (CFD);
- Data-driven methods in geotechnical and hydraulic engineering.
We warmly invite researchers and practitioners to contribute original research articles and review papers 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 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.
