Applied Mathematical Modelling
Mathematical Modeling of Disasters: New Trends and Perspectives
Submission deadline: 01 August 2026
The aim of the proposed special model is to collect papers focused on mathematical modeling and resulting computer simulations of important challenging natural phenomena often related to natural disasters.
Examples of possible applications include mathematical modeling of tsunami phenomena on a globe model based on shallow water equations, modeling of thermal inversion and pollution propagation in urban areas based on advection-diffusion-reaction equations, modeling avalanches in mountainous areas, modeling wildfires based on a nonlinear models with diffusion, advection and radiation terms, modeling earthquakes based on nonlinear wave equations, modeling atmospheric phenomena, including climate change using Navier-Stokes-Boussinesq equations, among others.
Mathematical modeling and the resulting computer simulations can have wide applications to challenging problems important to humanity.

Special issue information:
This special issue focuses on the development and application of advanced mathematical modeling and numerical methods for simulating complex natural and environmental phenomena. Contributions that explore finite element methods, physics-informed neural networks (PINNs), and other computational approaches for solving hyperbolic and parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs), particularly in the context of non-linear problems, are highly encouraged.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, tsunami, wildfire, avalanche, and pollution modeling, as well as the simulation of atmospheric phenomena. The issue aims to bridge theoretical advances in mathematical modeling with practical, high-impact applications in natural hazard prediction, environmental assessment, and scientific computing.
