Innovations in the Modelling and Simulation of River Flow and Morphodynamics

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, entitled “Innovations in the Modelling and Simulation of River Flow and Morphodynamics”, emphasizes recent breakthroughs and future directions in river engineering and morphology research, encompassing a wide range of topics such as:

• In-depth explorations of experimental methodologies, mathematical and numerical modelling of complex river processes, data-driven approaches, innovative management strategies, and insights assembled from real-world case studies;
• Monitoring and forecasting of river flow patterns, sediment transport, channel evolution, and the effects of climate change and human intervention on river dynamics at various spatial and temporal scales;
• Examination of the impact of riverine heterogeneity on sediment and nutrient transport, model calibration, and the uncertainties associated with predictions and observations.

We welcome submissions from researchers involved in experimental, theoretical, and computational aspects of river engineering and morphodynamics, with applications spanning areas of flood risk management, river restoration, sediment management, infrastructure design, and related areas.

By curating this comprehensive and interdisciplinary collection, our goal is to disseminate cutting-edge knowledge and insights to river engineers, geomorphologists, environmental scientists, and policymakers engaged in the sustainable management and development of river systems.

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.
