Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The water-passing capacity of rock fractures is much stronger than that of rock matrices, making various major projects inseparable from the help of fractures, such as the development of shale gas, the exploitation of geothermal energy, and the treatment and disposal of nuclear waste. Seepage in rock fractures is the main cause of disasters in nature (landslides and collapses) and engineering (water inrush from foundation pits, slope instability, and cavern collapse). However, the anisotropy of fracture surface morphology and fracture deformation under the action of in situ stress make water flow in rock fractures complex.
This Special Issue mainly focuses on seepage in rock fractures. It primarily focuses on numerical simulation methods in the rock fractures; numerical simulation: physical phenomena that are difficult to observe by experimental means; and theoretical formula: scientific laws under specific conditions that can provide practice guidance. We also welcome papers focused on new computational simulation methods for various fluid dynamics; fluid–solid interaction simulation; macroscopic law or mesoscopic essence; mass transfer or heat transfer; saturated flow or unsaturated flow; single-phase flow or multi-phase flow; and a single fracture, bifurcated fractures, crossed fractures, or fracture network.

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.
