Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the analysis of water bodies, numerical models are often employed to simulate flow and water quality problems. The rapid development of computing technology has furnished a large number of models to be employed in engineering or environmental problems. However, the adoption of a proper numerical model for a practical water body problem is a highly specialized task. The accuracy of the prediction is to a great extent dependent on open boundary conditions, model parameters, and the numerical scheme. In addition, in the past two decades, with advancements in soft computing and artificial intelligence technologies, data-driven flow and water quality models have become a viable alternative to their knowledge-driven counterparts. Beyond this non-exhaustive list, issues related to climate change are gaining significance. The recent advancements of huge computational power also facilitate the development of hybrid models, which are timely for tackling the globally pressing problem of more frequent occurrences of extreme events owing to climate change.
The present Special Issue aims to present the recent advances in the development and application of computational models for hydraulics and water quality, in all related questions, in accordance with but not limited to those listed in the brief overview above. In addition to original research papers, review papers on the state-of-the-art and future perspectives are invited.

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. Computation is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
