Hydraulic Engineering and Numerical Simulation of Two-Phase Flows

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements in the interconnected fields of hydraulic engineering and numerical simulation of two-phase flows. It welcomes original research papers and comprehensive reviews that address the complex interactions between fluids and solids in various hydraulic engineering applications.

The overall focus lies on the synergy between theoretical modeling and practical applications. We encourage submissions that utilize numerical simulation techniques to analyze, predict, and optimize two-phase flow behavior in hydraulic systems.

The scope encompasses a broad range of topics, including but not limited to the following:

• Modeling of multiphase flow phenomena in hydraulic machinery (pumps and turbines);
• Simulation of fluid-structure interaction in hydraulic structures (dams and spillways);
• Numerical analysis of cavitation and erosion in two-phase flows;
• Development and validation of novel computational approaches for two-phase flow problems;
• Application of numerical simulations for design optimization in hydraulic engineering.

This Special Issue seeks to position itself at the forefront of knowledge by promoting the integration of cutting-edge numerical simulation methods with real-world hydraulic engineering challenges. By fostering this dialogue, we aim to bridge the gap between theoretical advancements and practical applications, ultimately leading to more efficient and sustainable hydraulic systems.

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.
