Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Runoffs in rivers, canals, and coastal areas are often accompanied by the transport of various sediments or slurries. This transport may be the transport of suspended sediments, transport by bedload, or multiphase transport. In natural flowing waters, erosion and sedimentation processes alternate continuously and characterize the bedload regime of the stretch of stream. In wastewater transport type flows, the multiphase aspect is to be considered, and the rheology of the fluids should be studied closely. This type of flow is generally represented by shallow water models. Saint–Venant equations, however, represent complex flows rather imperfectly (variation in the density of the fluid, stratification of velocities according to the vertical). Likewise, the rheology of complex fluids (granular aspects, presence of several phases, high viscosity) is represented by models which are particularly difficult to handle. The objective here is to propose innovative models and numerical methods combining relative simplicity with high efficiency to represent these different types of flows accurately.

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. Fluids 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.
