**About the Special Issue Editors**

**Jian Guo Zhou** graduated from Wuhan University with a BSc in River Mechanics and Engineering and subsequently completed his MSc in Fluvial Mechanics at Tsinghua University. He received his PhD in Fluid Mechanics from the University of Leeds. He specialises in formulating mathematical models and developing numerical methods for flow problems in fluids and water engineering, such as coastal, estuary, hydraulic, river and environmental engineering.

**Jianmin Zhang** graduated from Shihezi University with a BSc, and subsequently completed his MSc at Xinjiang Agricultural University. In 2000, he received his PhD in Hydraulics and River Dynamics from Sichuan University. His core research focuses on engineering hydraulics, flood discharge, energy dissipation, hydraulic experiments, two-phase flows and numerical simulations of turbulence.

**Yong Peng** graduated from Northwest A&F University with a BSc in Hydraulic and Hydropower Engineering, and subsequently completed his MSc in Hydraulics and River Dynamics at Sichuan University. He received his PhD in Computational Hydraulics from the University of Liverpool. His main research focuses on flooding, contaminant transport, sediment transport, the lattice Boltzmann method, shallow water flow, two-phase flow, cavitation, and hydraulic experiments.

**Alistair G. L. Borthwick** has more than 40 years' experience in civil engineering. He holds a BEng and a PhD from the University of Liverpool, a DSc degree from Oxford University, and an honorary degree from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. His research interests include environmental fluid mechanics, coastal and ocean engineering, and marine renewable energy. In 2019, he was awarded the Gold Medal of the UK Institution of Civil Engineers.
