Journal of Hydroinformatics Special Issue on:

Modelling Hydrodynamics for Water Resources

This Special Issue was created in collaboration with the international workshop held at the University of Zaragoza in Spain (MODWATER 2019, 17–20 June 2019). It brings the opportunity to share experimental and modelling techniques related to water resources.

The papers largely cover mathematical models used to describe the overland and sub-surface flows, the techniques used to characterize them experimentally and the computational techniques used to develop numerical simulations.

The papers are problem-oriented, rigorously introduced to different aspects of computational hydrodynamics and to different (well-established and emerging) measurement and simulation techniques. A great effort has been devoted to present the application of these techniques to typical problems in the field of water resources.
