Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wave propagation modeling is a fundamental research field with broad applications in science and engineering, spanning acoustics, elastodynamics, electromagnetics, and seismology. This Special Issue explores recent advances and emerging challenges in wave propagation analysis. One important theme is the interaction of waves with complex media, including heterogeneous and anisotropic materials. This Special Issue welcomes advanced theoretical and computational tools for understanding wave behavior in unconventional media, such as metamaterials and disordered structures. Full-waveform inversion (FWI) represents key challenges in wave propagation applications. Innovations in the FWI, which uses measured waveforms to reconstruct subsurface properties, are a significant topic of this Special Issue. Complex wave propagation problems require advanced numerical methods for stable and accurate results. We are interested in original research articles and review articles that explore aspects of numerical methods or that use innovative procedures to analyze complex wave propagation problems. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Innovations in time and frequency domain techniques and spatial discretization methods applied to wave propagation problems;
- Advances in the numerical analysis of waves in heterogeneous and anisotropic media;
- Development and testing of novel wave-absorbing boundaries to analyze infinite media;
- Recent advances in full-waveform inversion.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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 single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
