Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Estuaries and coastal regions are heavily populated and well-developed areas. Future rapid population growth and urbanisation in these regions will greatly affect the environmental and water quality of these regions. Fresh river water flow carries and deposits sediment as it enters coastal seas via estuaries, while salt water intrusion in river mouths affects estuarine and coastal ecology and environments. On the coast, tidal flow, currents and waves may cause beach erosion and variation in water quality. A better understanding of the hydraulics and hydrodynamics of estuaries and coasts is therefore critical to accurately monitor the environment and water quality and predict coast evolution. The hydrodynamics in estuaries and coasts, which is affected by many factors, is very complicated, requiring a unique approach combining theoretical analysis, laboratory experiments, field observation and numerical modelling studies. As such, this Special Issue is set to bring researchers together to investigate the hydrodynamics, sediment transport and water quality of estuaries and coasts. Topics of interest include: fresh-salt water exchange in estuaries; hydraulics in estuaries and coasts; sediment transport in estuaries and coasts; beach erosion and nourishment; estuarine and coastal flooding; water quality modelling in estuaries and coasts.

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.

In the highly energetic Columbia River estuary, river discharge and tides are known as dominant factors controlling circulation. In this study, the 3D hydrodynamic unstructured-grid model SELFE is used to investigate the influence of the local wind on salinity intrusion. Numerical simulations are carried out for realistic conditions for the year 2014, with 4 km and 32 km resolution atmospheric forcing. The effect of the wind is further investigated by switching it off in the estuary. Analysis of modeled salinity intrusion length shows that the resolution of atmospheric forcing matters, and strong episodic winds occurring in winter and fall exert some control on this parameter. Energetic easterly winds tend to increase salinity intrusion length, while energetic westerly winds tend to do the reverse. Results also suggest that energetic winds can differentially alter salt intrusion in the two main channels—the north and south channels—of the estuary. These findings offer motivation for future studies to better understand these processes. Full article

Drilling waste has a significant effect on the water quality and the aquatic environment. Therefore, the harmless solidification treatment of drilling waste mud is important in terms of protecting the water environment. However, traditional chemical solidification methods have some problems, such as wide area, high cost, and secondary pollution. Therefore, the improvement of the mechanical performance on treating the drilling waste is important, as it can reduce and minimize the effect of drilling waste on the water environment. To this end, in this study, the industrial waste residue is used as the main component of the curing agent and a harmless curing scheme is designed. According to the orthogonal design method, an unconfined compressive strength test is carried out on the solidified soil of drilling waste mud. The strength, stress-strain relationship, and deformation modulus of the solidified soil are discussed according to the curing age, the number of freeze-thaw cycles, and the proportion of the solidifying agent. The test results show that the unconfined compressive strength of solidified soil samples under different proportions increases with the increase of the curing age and decreases with the increase of the freeze-thaw cycles. With the Increase of the curing age, the solidified soil gradually changes from plasticity to brittleness, and its deformation modulus E50 also increases gradually. Full article
