Topical Collection Information:

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the Topical Collection "CFD Methods and Applications for Prevention and Treatment of Natural Disasters" This collection aims to showcase the latest advancements and applications of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in the context of mitigating and managing natural disasters.

Natural disasters, such as floods, hurricanes, wildfires, and tsunamis, pose significant threats to human lives, infrastructure, and the environment. Accurate prediction, prevention, and effective management of these events are crucial for minimizing their impact. CFD has emerged as a powerful tool in this field, enabling researchers and practitioners to simulate, analyze, and understand the complex fluid dynamics involved in natural disasters.

The objectives of this Topical Collection are:
-To highlight state-of-the-art CFD methods and techniques used in the study of natural disasters;
-To present case studies and applications demonstrating the effectiveness of CFD in disaster prevention, mitigation, and management;
-To foster interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers, engineers, and policymakers working in the fields of CFD, natural hazards, and disaster management;
-To identify current challenges and future directions in the application of CFD for natural disaster-related research;

Hence, we invite original research articles that address topics including, but not limited to:
-CFD modeling of floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, and other natural hazards;
-Multi-scale and multi-physics CFD approaches for disaster modeling;
-Uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis in disaster simulations;
-Integration of CFD with other tools (e.g., GIS, remote sensing) for disaster management;
-Validation and verification of CFD models using experimental or field data;
-Application of CFD for risk assessment, early warning systems, and emergency response planning.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information:

Please visit the Submissions Guidelines page before submitting a manuscript. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Manuscripts should be submitted online through the online manuscript submission and editorial system. Additionally, please include a cover letter specifying that the manuscript is intended for the Topical Collection "CFD Methods and Applications for Prevention and Treatment of Natural Disasters" when submitting it online. Manuscripts can be submitted until the submission deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal and will be listed together on the Topical Collection website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract can be sent to the Editorial Office ptnd@ukscip.com for announcement on this website.

The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 600 USD. Authors who are unable to cover this cost or those who are invited to submit papers may be eligible for discounts or waivers.

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 double-blind peer-review process.
