Numerical Modeling of Sediment Transport and River Morphodynamics

Dear Colleagues,

The numerical modelling of sediment transport in fluvial environment is under constant development. The recent technological improvement in terms of computational speed made it possible to investigate highly resolved processes in time and space. The results are used to gain insights into processes which previously have not been possible to look at due to CPU constraints or the lack of suitable measurement technology. These processes comprise, for example, grain-grain interaction such as sorting and incipient potion, near bed flow characteristics under the full range of relative submergance, local scouring, clogging, geophysical flows, consolidation in the context of river engineering, ecohydraulics interaction with hydraulic structures and hydro power development. The current Special Issue reflects therefore on the recent developments in the field of numerical sediment transport modelling for engineers and geographers, both for basic and applied research cases. Furthermore, this issue will document the current state of the development and application of hydrodynamic models coupled to sediment transport in all three dimensions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
