Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The theme of this Special Issue is “Hydrodynamics and Sediment Transport in the Coastal Zone”. This is a topical issue, particularly in the context of climate change, due to the rise in sea level and its effects on the coastal zone.
This Special Issue mainly focuses on coastal hydrodynamics, sediment transport, extreme events in the coastal zone, harbour siltation, scouring in the vicinity of coastal structures, and coastal flooding. Water waves, coastal currents, combined flows, and tsunamis propagating towards the shore are subjects, among others, in which our knowledge is still limited and needs to progress. Sediment transport may have a significant impact on the coastal zone, such as through coastal erosion or the natural filling of channels and estuaries. Harbour siltation may induce drastic consequences for human activities. Coastal structures may be subject to erosion, which may result in the ruin of these structures. Extreme events in the coastal zone and coastal flooding may lead to dramatic human and material consequences. A significant part of the world population lives in the vicinity of coasts, and it is crucial to understand the physical processes operating in this zone.
This Special Issue is dedicated to providing original research findings and review articles to the whole scientific community interested in hydrodynamics and sediment transport in the coastal zone. Contributions involving field data, physical modelling, numerical modelling, or theoretical approaches are welcomed.

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.
