Hydraulic Engineering and Modelling of Water Flow by Use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Modern Hydraulic Analysis Methods

Dear Colleagues,

Of the many methods currently available to analyze problems in fluid dynamics, the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software based on finite element and finite difference solution methodologies has proven important for investigating and solving problems in industrial and manufacturing engineering, water supply to cities and agricultural systems, water purity studies for urban and agricultural use, medical-biological research, historical archaeological studies of ancient water engineering, current environmental global warming change studies affecting agriculture and urban environments, as well as for many other basic study areas in new research fields of present-day importance. The intent of the new Special Issue ‘Hydraulic Engineering of Water Flow by Application of CFD Methods’ is to encourage the submission of manuscripts for publication using commercially available CFD software as well as newly originated CFD software designed to extend the current reach and applicability of existing CFD software programs originated to investigate a wide variety of currently important fluid dynamics problems. As many of Water’s Special categories utilize many different analytical techniques specific to topics of interest, the present Special Issue is intended to focus mainly on the use of CFD methodologies to solve problems of importance to Water’s readership.

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.
