Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The dynamics of the ocean is a fascinating and complex subject to study. There are many types of waves and flows in the ocean, examples include surface gravity waves that are the familiar waves that can be observed breaking rhythmically near the shore; internal waves are hidden beneath the surface and take the form of modulations between layers of different water density.
These internal waves is the major player in the ocean dynamics and they carry significant part of ocean kinetic energy. Their dynamical role is to transfer energy over large distances in physical space and towards wave breaking in spectral space. Although these waves were intensively studied for over last five decades, there are many unanswered questions in the field of internal waves.
Original papers dealing with physics of internal waves are invited for this special volume of the Fluids. We would welcome papers from analytical, numerical and observational view points.

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. Fluids is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
