The Journal of Hydraulic Research (JHR) publishes research papers in theoretical, experimental and computational hydraulics and fluid mechanics, relating to rivers, lakes, estuaries, coasts, constructed waterways, and some internal flows such as pipe flows. To reflect current trends in water research, articles that explore outcomes of interdisciplinary hydro-environment studies with a strong fluid mechanical component are especially welcome. Although preference is given to fundamental issues, papers focusing on important unconventional or emerging applications of broad interest are also appreciated.

 Overview

This issue begins with a vision paper on the intriguing concept of time reversal (TR) of waves and its possible applications in the field of hydraulics, followed immediately by a research paper on the same topic. The remaining papers focus on a wide range of important theoretical and experimental contributions to classical as well as eco-hydraulics.
