Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Urban flooding poses significant challenges to city infrastructure, public safety, and environmental sustainability. This Special Issue seeks to advance the field of urban flood modeling and analysis by gathering cutting-edge research and innovative methodologies. Our focus encompasses a comprehensive range of topics, including flood modeling, smart stormwater systems, hydroinformatics, and rainfall-runoff processes.
The purpose of the titled Analysis and Simulation of Urban Floods Special Issue is to provide a platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to share their latest findings and practical solutions for managing urban flooding. We aim to address the complexities of urban hydrology, improve predictive flood models, and explore the integration of smart technologies in stormwater management. By doing so, we hope to foster a deeper understanding of urban flooding dynamics and support the development of resilient urban water systems.
This Special Issue will situate itself within the existing literature by building on the foundational theories and models of urban flooding while also introducing novel approaches and technologies like informatics, data science, high-performance modeling, and AI. We invite contributions that employ computational models, innovative techniques, and case studies that highlight the efficacy of new strategies in diverse urban settings. By bridging the gap between traditional hydraulic–hydrological modeling and emerging simulation technologies, this issue will contribute to a more holistic and adaptive approach to urban flood management.

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.
