ASCE Journal of Environmental Engineering is welcoming contributions to a new Special Collection "Emerging applications of computational fluid dynamics in water treatment". The Call for Papers is attached. The submission deadline is December 31, 2018.

The Special Collection will include contributions that represent various aspects of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications in water treatment including portable water, wastewater, and stormwater treatment. The Special Collection will aim to provide a balanced account of: - Recent advances in CFD applications to water treatment technologies - Novel model frameworks integrating CFD with chemical and/or biological kinetics models - Multiphase CFD model considering complex physical processes (e.g. aeration, flocculation, and sedimentation) - Specific CFD applications in water industry - Interdisciplinary CFD-based research on issues of direct relevance for the water sector: water treatment plant design, energy efficiency of treatment facilities, environmental impact assessment

The guest editors for the Collection are: Dr. Jie Zhang, Carollo Engineers, Inc.; Dr. Xiaofeng Liu, Penn State University; Dr. Kevin Nielsen, CH2M (Now Jacobs); Dr. Andres Tejada-Martinez, University of South Florida; Dr. Subhas Karan Venayagamoorthy, Colorado State University; Edward Wicklein, Carollo Engineers, Inc.; Sri Kamojjala, Las Vegas Valley Water District

All accepted papers submitted in response to this Call will be published in regular issues of the ASCE Journal of Environmental Engineering and assembled online on a page dedicated to this Special Collection.
