Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In natural rivers and coastal regions, flow dynamics and sediment transport are important processes that keep shaping the land surface. Fluvial hydraulics deals with the flow of water, the motion of sediment, and the erosion of channel beds. Flow dynamics becomes more complex, as the velocity, slope, depth, and channel roughness are all subject to changes resulting from erodible beds and sediment transport due to the presence of in-stream infrastructure, vegetation in channel beds/banks, and ice cover on the water surface. As a consequence, it can lead to a variety of challenges for public safety, the operation and maintenance of water infrastructures, transportation and navigation in estuary and coastal regions, and for environmental and aquatic ecosystems.
To date, scientists have conducted a large amount of cutting-edge research on all aspects of sediment transport and fluvial hydraulics in rivers and coasts. Many research papers have been published to help researchers continue to explore this subject in the right direction. The aim of this Special Issue is to showcase renewed contributions that improve the knowledge of this theme, including, but not limited to, channel bed deformation, local scour around infrastructures, fluvial processes in the presence of vegetation, river ice hydraulics, the environmental and ecological impacts of sedimentation, the effect of reservoir sedimentation, coastal erosion, and wave dynamics. Research works regarding tidal power generation, the impact of river ice on the operation of hydropower plants and other water infrastructure, and hydrodynamic and hydrological modeling, are also welcome.

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.
