Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fluid flow and transport in porous and fractured media are of special importance in applications of many projects in geosciences and geoengineering, such as CO2 sequestration, enhanced oil recovery, groundwater use, geothermal energy development, risk assessment of water inrush in karst tunnels and coal mines, and design and risk assessment of nuclear waste disposal and undergound crude-oil-storage facilities. The porous media has a large amount of volume, while the fractured media occupies a small amount of volume. However, the fractured media is more permeable than the porous media. Thus, the fluid flow and transport mainly occur within the fractured media, while the porous media stores the fluids. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly understand the fluid flow and transport behaviors of fluids in porous and fractured media. This Special Issue of Water calls for papers presenting recent advances in fluid flow and transport in porous and fractured media on the following topics:
- Fluid flow in porous media.
- Fluid flow in fractured media.
- Transport in porous media.
- Transport in fractured media.
- Fluid flow in porous-fractured media.
- Transport in porous-fractured media.
Papers dealing with fluid flow and transport in porous and fractured media in other topics will also be welcomed.

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.
