Outfall Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Wastewater and industrial effluents are commonly discharged into marine environments. Such discharges may lead to significant impacts on the environment and ecological systems if not properly designed. Therefore, it is essential to understand their mixing processes. This Special Issue deals with various aspects of marine outfall systems including design, optimization, mixing processes, thermal plumes, desalination and industrial outfalls, wastewater outfalls, stormwater, sewer overflows, surface outfalls, submerged outfalls, single-port and multi-port diffusers including rosette diffusers, mixing of buoyant jets in homogeneous and stratified environments, disposal of treated municipal or industrial wastewater, laboratory methods, field studies, numerical simulations, empirical methods, near-field models, far-field models, coupling of hydrodynamic models with near-field models, biological aspects, and environmental impact assessment.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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 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.
