Water Transport Phenomena Linked to Soil Structure
This special issue belongs to the section “Water Erosion and Sediment Transport“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to disseminate the most recent progress on water transport phenomena in porous media, with special emphasis on the influence of the spatial organization of soil pore networks and their interfaces. We welcome submission of original works on innovative developments on water status and flow, including, among other topics:
- Complexity of structured pore networks related to water flow;
- Modeling water flow in structured porous media;
- Pore-scale flow and fluid phase displacement;
- Preferential flow phenomena;
- Advances in computed image analysis to study flow in porous media.

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-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.
