Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Transient flows represent a field of research that has advanced greatly in the last few decades. However, there are still many aspects of transient flows that require further research. Transient flows result from sudden changes in flow conditions in pipeline systems because of planned or accidental maneuvers. Failures related to the effects of transient flows can lead to major accidents and significant damage to pipeline systems. At present, transient flows analysis is a fundamental part of the design of fluid systems.
Transient flows analysis is a complex research topic. In recent years, considerable progress has been made due to developments in computer science, numerical models, and novel analysis techniques. This Special Issue focuses on all advancements related to transient flows, mathematical simulations, new analysis techniques, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), laboratory tests, protection elements and systems against water hammer, innovative strategies for controlling water hammer, hydraulic transients with entrapped air, hydraulic transients with water column separation, the consequences and risks of hydraulic transients, etc. This Special Issue aims to collect novel research related to transient flows in any subject.

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.
