Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The hydraulics and dynamics of water movement in rivers and open channels is of great importance in the diverse realms of hydrology and water sciences. Accordingly, in recent decades, several researchers have considered the accurate and proper simulation of these water bodies. Regarding the significance of the phenomena, researchers are invited to submit their studies related to the numerical modeling and/or soft computing simulation of river dynamics (and pertinent hydro-structures) to this Special Issue. The main outlines and scopes of this issue can be categorized as the following:
- Behavior and corresponding description of flow in rivers.
- Modeling flow in compound channels.
- Floodplain flow modeling.
- River flow and groundwater flow interaction.
- Water resources management corresponding to river flow.
- Simulation of contamination and pollution in rivers.
- Optimizing stage-discharge relation using advanced methods.
- Modeling dynamics of estuaries.
- River structures and their functions.
It should be noted that related studies with an experimental and machine learning modeling background are also welcome for submission to this Special Issue.

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.
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.
