Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on simulations of hydrodynamic and sediment transport phenomena that take place in coastal regions, rivers, and in transition zones such as river mouths and lagoons.
The simulation of these phenomena allows us to evaluate hydrodynamic forces and the evolutive processes that affect the abovementioned regions and coastal and river defense structures.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and applied studies concerning numerical and experimental simulations of velocity, free surface elevation, and suspended sediment concentration fields produced by wave motion, coastal currents, tidal flows, and river currents.
The contributions for this Special Issue may concern the adopted numerical or experimental methodologies and the application of numerical and experimental methods to practical engineering case studies.
The topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, three-dimensional or two-dimensional numerical simulations, and experimental studies for free surface flow and sediment transport phenomena.
Original contributions are encouraged concerning, for example, theoretical aspects, innovative mathematical representations, and numerical or experimental methodology about specific phenomena such as turbulence, wave breaking, resuspension and transport of solid particles, changes in river and sea bottoms, and evolution of coastlines.

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.
