Rethinking River Systems: Breakthroughs in Flow Simulation and Morphodynamic Modelling

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to introduce the Special Issue titled "Rethinking River Systems: Breakthroughs in Flow Simulation and Morphodynamic Modelling". This edition is dedicated to exploring recent advancements and setting the future direction in river engineering and morphology. The Special Issue covers a wide array of topics, such as:

• Advanced experimental methods, mathematical and numerical modelling of complex river processes, and innovative management strategies. It includes data-driven approaches and insights from real-world case studies.
• Monitoring and forecasting of river flow patterns, sediment transport, and channel evolution, especially considering the impacts of climate change and human intervention.
• Examination of riverine heterogeneity on sediment and nutrient transport, and the challenges in model calibration and prediction accuracy.

We invite contributions from researchers in experimental, theoretical, and computational aspects of river engineering and morphodynamics. The scope extends to flood risk management, river restoration, sediment management, and infrastructure design.

Our aim is to provide a platform for disseminating cutting-edge knowledge to professionals in river engineering, geomorphology, environmental science, and policy-making. This Special Issue strives to contribute to the sustainable management and development of river systems.

We look forward to your insightful contributions.

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.
