Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The understanding of the processes of the environment presupposes the conduction of experiments and/or of numerical studies (the ideal is the combination of both). Concerning the latest, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) seems to be the most powerful and promising tool that can help in the understanding of environmental fluid flow and thermal/chemical phenomena. This is justified by the fact that Navier–Stokes (N–S) equations (and the transport equations) are solved numerically in a computational grid of high resolution, and CFD is the only way to achieve the best answers, as N–S equations cannot be solved analytically.
The present issue welcomes scientific works of high quality that try to give valid answers to environmental questions using CFD methodology or, even better, using a combination of experiments and CFD. Special attention will be given to state-of-the-art approaches and findings.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
