Summary
The proposed special issue seeks to explore the latest advancements, modeling approaches, and innovations in understanding the characteristics, behavior, and properties of wave dynamics in fluid systems. This collection aims to bridge the fields of fluid dynamics and materials science, shedding light on how wave phenomena in fluids influence and are influenced by the materials and structures they interact with.
The issue invites contributions (including research articles, reviews, and short communications) that address topics such as multiphase flow, transport through porous media, potential flows, fluid-structure interactions, wave-current interactions, and the dynamics of Boussinesq-type systems. Special emphasis is placed on the impact of environmental conditions on surface and internal wave behavior in multi-layered fluid systems, as well as on advanced analytical, numerical, and simulation methods.
Understanding these principles is not only vital for advancing fundamental knowledge but also for unlocking practical applications in engineering and industrial processes, particularly where wave-related phenomena play a critical role. The intersection of nonlinear wave dynamics, computational modeling, and experimental validation offers significant opportunities to deepen our grasp of complex fluid behavior.
Submissions analyzing nonlinear phenomena in wave mechanics are especially encouraged, with a focus on their implications for real-world applications and interdisciplinary challenges.
We welcome contributions on, but not limited to, the following topics:
· Advanced numerical methods in wave dynamics;
· Mathematical modeling of wave phenomena;
· Simulation of multiphase flows;
· Modeling and analysis of Boussinesq systems;
· Effects of currents on wave dynamics;
· Reacting flow modeling in wave environments;
· Fluid-structure interactions and their influence on wave behavior.
By emphasizing the interplay between wave dynamics, fluid mechanics, and materials science, this special issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for showcasing innovative research and fostering cross-disciplinary dialogue.
